Ouahbi Reflects On Difficult Win
Ouahbi said his team reacted well after a difficult first half.
“We are very happy. It’s a World Cup match and these are difficult games with teams playing for their lives,” Ouahbi told FIFA website.
“We reacted very well in the second half in the second balls and the duels. I have to recognise that Canada were impressive – they played a top match.
“It was no surprise for us but in the second half we were able to profit from the space they left us – that was the key.”
