Meinert joy
"My team were outstanding and we couldn't have expected to win by such a margin," she said after the Group 3 win. "We were very solid in defence and created a lot of chances in front of goal. We coped very well in a difficult situation, being the first match of a group that will decide our participation in the European and World Championships. Only the winners are sure of being in the European finals and that is our goal. That's where we want to be."
