Roberto Martinez
A sad night, a sad moment, but the players gave their all. We played well, controlled the ball, defended well using personal guard, we’ve had the best chances. But the issue was that we didn't score. And that's tough.
On July 9, France will face Spain, who achieved a hard-fought victory over Germany with a score of 2:1 in a parallel match.
