Eustaquio Thumbs Up Remarkable Victory
Eustaquio said the players gave everything to secure the win, stressing that making their fans happy was one of their biggest motivations.
“We worked a lot to get this victory. We really wanted to give this win to all the Canadians. We just kept believing and kept pushing,” he was quoted by FIFA.com.
“It was an amazing goal, but when I shot I felt everyone shot with me. Everybody put a little bit of power on it and it went to the back of the net, so I’m very happy.
“We will try to make Morocco and Netherlands see our game and feel, if they go through, they’re going to get the hardest game they’re going to face in this World Cup. I think we did an amazing job and it’s going to be an amazing game next week.”
