Post omatch reaction- zimbabwe vs libya

Libya coach – Javier Clemente

“I am very happy that we have reached that final but first l want to congratulate Zimbabwe for who were the better team tonight and did not give us chance to play our game. This team remained believing they could get something out of the match and as often is the case with football we managed to win the penalty shoot-out.  Zimbabwe is a good side and their striker number 19 is a fine player as is number 10, 12 and 13. I must compliment my young side for showing resilience all the way and now we play in the final.”

Zimbabwe coach -Ian Gorowa

“Congratulations to Libya for making the final and they should be saluted for this.  It’s disappointing to lose the way we did tonight. We dominated possession and had a few clear cut chances but credit goes to Libya for slowing down the game to their advantage. They disrupted us and defended well enough to stop us scoring. Our solid defence which has conceded only one goal so far in this competition held on well and Libya hardly threatened our goal.  We did practice penalties and always do but in a match situation the pressure is different and you just can never tell the outcome.”
