Benjamin Cremaschi's post-match comments:

‘I’m happy with today’s game. We’ve worked with the new coach for a week and we’re doing our best to respond to his demands. We showed a lot of positive things today, but there are also several areas where we can still improve. We’ll keep working to make sure we’re ready for the start of the season and approach it with all our energy.’
