José Gomes: The match helped our preparations despite the defeat

José Gomes: "Today's match did not show us what we really know. The players are tired at the end of this pre-season camp, as they have put in really hard work over the past nine days. We played well in the second half despite this, and we had two really big chances, when we only had the keeper to beat. However, we did not manage to score from these, while our opponents made no mistakes at the other end. Today's match, despite the result, served us well for our preparations."
