    Milan Veverka, Sweden coach:

    "I was a little bit afraid of this game. Last year's first home game had the same feeling. With parents and family in the stands I think the players were nervous. They wanted to show everybody how good they really are especially after that win in Portugal. We played a good defensive game tonight."

    Jaanus Levkoi, Estonia coach:

    "Sweden is a very good and strong team. We played them two weeks ago and lost by only 14. Today was a very different game. I think Sweden might be the best team in the group."

    Anna Barthold, Sweden player:

    "As coach said, we were nervous starting off as we wanted to do a good job in front of our home fans. Once the nervousness wore off we played a good second half and made our offensive game work well."

    Gerly Kostla, Estonia player:

    "Being down 0-2 coming into this game was emotionally very difficult. Facing Sweden's tough defence didn't make it any easier for us. Now we are down 0-3."
