Furthermore there is an extremely good atmosphere between the players. It was very important for us to win this match because now we are sure that we’ll advance to the next round of the tournament”, she said after the game.

The Austrian coach, Ole Eliasen, was also impressed by the Yugoslavian goal keeper.
