"Honestly, it was tough to think straight"

"I believed we could win the final, and that mentality drove me as I approached the box"

"I concentrated on the ball, not the penalty kick itself. I told myself, This is our chance to take the lead. Luckily, I scored, and it means the world to me and the team. Im relieved I didnt disappoint"

"I was emotional as I walked up to take the penalty kick"

"When we qualified, I told everyone it was possible and we could win it. Im thrilled we achieved it together as a team, and I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead"

"Every team comes here to become champions. Nothing is easy, but we are ready to give everything to go all the way"

"The mental picture of what could happen if I scored was what kept me believing and focused within those few secondsn"

"I was praying in my head, God, help us, while closing my eyes. Then, I just heard the scream, Goal"

"Seeing the victims - children, mothers, fathers whove lost loved ones, and families torn apart - was heartbreaking"

"For me, the support I offer is simple: when Im on the pitch I feel compelled to win, even if its just to bring a small moment of happiness to our people"
