In Luis Conceição's 100th match as coach, the women's futsal team beat three-time European champion Spain on Thursday, in a match played at Rio Marrior. At the end of the match, the coach expressed his great happiness at Portugal's victory over the Spanish national team for the third time in a row. “Big things are built on small things. We really wanted to win this match, because of Spain and because we had three successive matches in which we beat Spain, which we never achieve,” he began by mentioning Luis Conceição before analyzing the match: “We performed very well.” In the first half, while the performance of the second half was less good, the quality of the first half made us very satisfied, as everyone played with great dynamics.” Luis Conceicao was also questioned about the 100-game mark. “It's not easy, especially in women's futsal. Things are evolving, we don't have a lot of matches during the season. It's a historic achievement and it's important for me,” he said, highlighting that the goal is to ensure qualification for the tournament. World Cup: “Our first goal is to qualify and then try to do our best. We are not favourites, but I think the match will be very balanced and very competitive. We can do interesting things.”
