Scotland head coach Melissa Andreatta: “Lots of positives.
“What you’ve probably seen was the progress that we’ve made and a performance heading in the direction we want to go. That’s a team that’s in form we’ve played against. Good teams like that are going to punish you when you make mistakes but we’re still working on that. Super super pleased with our performance tonight.
This team wants to be a team that wants to attack and defend aggressively. Tonight we saw a team that can control the game and dominate a really good side. It took some great saves and some clearances, some ref calls maybe, to stop us.
We just ran out of time. I honestly believe it was one of those games where we just ran out of time.
“It’s a short turnaround between games now so that will be good for us. We’ll be together again soon and playing in the next FIFA window and I’m looking forward to that already.”
On Kirsty Maclean: “Her nickname’s not Ini [Iniesta] for nothing. She’s tidy in small spaces, such a calm composed character. We have many like that in our team but for her age and her experience, she just calms things for us.
“That was one of many good performances. They’ll leave the pitch disappointed tonight but many positives tonight.”
