Colombia had a chance to go to semi-finals itself but it turned out to be impossible. The last game of group A Cuba vs India means nothing: Cuba and the Great Britain will play in Semi-finals, China and Colombia for 5-8 places and Azerbaijan and India for 9-12 places.
Among players of Great Britain the Man of the Match was Joshua Da Silva (P) and from Colombians Carlos Daniel Alvarez (RB) was the best.
Fernando Gonzalez, Coach of Colombia: We lost, so of cousre I’m not happy but I knew that Great Britain is a very good team. In the first half we weren’t a united team, we were just a group of single players and that was wrong. In the second half we played better.
Ricardo Vasconcelos, Coach of the Great Britain: I’m very happy not only for today’s win but because now we are playing in semi-finals. The match was far from easy because team of Colombia has a really good coach. We knew it gonna be hard.
