Quotes

Ireland Under-17 Midfielder Ramon Martos said: "Uzbekistan look like a really good team. Some people may know they've won the Asia Cup and some people will say they are the best team in Asia now. They look like a very good side - some good individuals - but hopefully we can bring the performance from the first game into the second game and perform how we know we can play."
