I am truly happy for Bonu Johnson and the boys. A young team with a 
local/domestic coach. They deserve commendation and all the support 
possible.

> POR - GAM match quotes       Peter Bonu Johnson, Gambia coach:"It was a 
> difficult match as the Portuguese are very experienced. They scored early 
> on and that forced us to change our tactics, which had been to let them 
> come at us. We went on the attack and once we'd equalised we let them take 
> control of midfield and waited for potential chances to counter-attack. My 
> lads adapted well and fought hard to finally get the win. 'Small country, 
> big heart', that's our motto!This is without doubt one of the greatest 
> moments in Gambian football because we weren't able to get past the first 
> round with the Under-17s. The programme we implemented is paying off, 
> we're making progress step-by-step and these players ought to be in the 
> senior team very soon.Work hard, be determined, hope for some luck and 
> believe in your chances - with that philosophy you can overturn any 
> situation. That's why I think that, yes, an African team can win this U-20 
> World Cup.It was frustrating to lose Ken
> Jammeh to a red card because he's our centre-back and our captain. 
> However, I came here with a whole squad, not just a first 11, so I know 
> his replacement will fit in perfectly."
>
>  Jose Couceiro, Portugal coach: "We expected a very tough game because we 
> knew how goodGambia are. They're right up there with the best in Africa. 
> We scored quite quickly and we controlled the play, but their equaliser 
> from the penalty spot came at the worst time for us: just before the 
> break. I think that was the key moment. We began well in the second half 
> but we lost our calm when they scored their second. We'll have to work on 
> that for the future. Having said that, our goal was to qualify and that's 
> what we've done. Leaving out six regulars, including Pele, didn't change 
> anything and I needed to let them rest anyway. On the other hand, I had to 
> make some unplanned changes during the match and that disturbed how the 
> team was playing.I don't worry about the opposition. If it's Spain, it 
> will obviously be a difficult game, but we'll do what we have to do! And, 
> to be honest, the advantage of qualifying as one of the best third-placed 
> teams is that you get an extra day of
> rest."
