HEAD COACH ERWIN VAN BENNEKOM

"I think today we played very well from our 18 to their 18 yards box. Kept possession well and were able to move the ball and our team into Iowa's half. I'm really proud of the way and the courage we played with against a good Iowa team. We have to improve our quality in the attacking third as I feel that today we created enough scoring chances to get more out of the game. Great to see a big improvement today on the way we took care of the ball and our spacing and positioning in possession."
