Speaking after the game, Conceiçaoss said at his post-match press conference: “48 hours after playing extra time, I couldn’t take any risks with the players and that’s why I reshuffled my team.

“We saw several players play tonight and I’m satisfied with the performance of several players. We have a first objective which was to play the final, but it was decided on details in the semi-final against Egypt. Today, we demonstrated the strength of character of this group and we won on penalties”.
