"One of the positives is that we managed to get opportunities in front of goals which we didn't utilise in fact we could have scored two or more goals. The negatives would be that we need to work on some of the defensive mistakes that we committed but, I also believe we had a clear-cut penalty which was not given but it's one of those things you can't dwell on," she concluded.
