“I’m happy with the performances. The results we cannot control.” Spanish tactician Jose Riveiro told TimesLive.

“So the consistency must be in the performances and the intention, and then we try to control the results as well as possible.

“We should have finished the last 15-minutes with maybe a two or three-goal advantage and not really under stress.

“But it’s a scoring game, it’s 2-1 and we’ll take it. But the most important for me is the performance.”
