“We deserved to win this game because we created many chances,” the Portuguese gaffer said after the game.

“We therefore need to improve on our finishing.”

“It’s not easy to play under these conditions,”added the former Saudi Arabia and Venezuela coach.

“We couldn’t press as we should because of the heat.

“We need to manage our energy.”
