Puttting things in perspective- Playing in heat, against a team nearly 50 rankings higher, with a number of debutants I think we did very well.

We bossed the game for 60 odd minutes and squandered a bunch of good opportunities. Bring on Bahrain! 
Rankings mean bigger all.
What is perspective is their starting back plays for a Bulgarian third tier team and hasn't played a club game since April 2019. They are not a good side.
By the same token, you could say that our starting CB is in the Danish second tier and hasn't played a first-team club game since early 2020, and we subbed on an amateur right-back.

They're a decent national team with a severely weakened side this international break who are still finding their feet. It's a good win, and we can take a lot of heart from that opening hour before the heat got to us
