So we\u2019ve done it a couple of times.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think overall we played well. Even the second half they tried to put us under a little bit more pressure and we made one mistake and they got a goal out of it but I don\u2019t think they had a lot of chances.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we should have scored more today but in the end, 1-3 is a good advantage.
