He said: “The U-23 boys played very well. They exhibited excellent cohesion and this is one National Team to be proud of.
“My charge to the team is to learn to take their chances. The scoreline would have been higher if they had not been profligate in front of goal. I believe the coaches will work on that aspect as the competition progresses.”
