WHAT HEAD COACH SANDER KONING SAID
"It was a great battle between two teams. Troy always fights hard and this time we were just a little bit more composed. My hat goes off to Santi. He clinched it for us and did it in a great way. He had to win the match twice and that takes a lot of mental strength."
