“The match was quite dramatic. Previously we had anticipated attacks from Zambia. Maybe we were less focused in the middle of the match and were already ahead,” said Evandra, quoted by Antara.
“Perhaps I myself and the team apologize for not being able to maintain their lead in the first half,” added Evandra.
