We had lost the last couple of matches: Noah Sadaoui

Further, the forward claimed that the previous losses hit the team hard and said that it was difficult to overcome the same. Sadaoui said that he was happy about Vazquez's contribution against the Kalinga Warriors and hoped for the player to carry on with his mighty form in the Indian Super League.

“I’m very happy to have helped the team – but more importantly, we worked together and got all three points, and that’s what it’s all about. We want to play more games like this. Coach Carlos (Pena) told us just to keep believing in ourselves. Not always can teams score early, and we were also defending well in my opinion. He also assured us that we’ll get many more opportunities in the second half, which actually happened and we were able to take advantage of those,” Sadaoui was quoted as saying.

“We had lost the last couple of matches and that was a difficult time for us. We also didn’t have a great first half, quite possibly because our confidence wasn’t great at that point in time. But credits to all of us together, because we kept believing, working hard, and following the instructions of the coach. He (Vazquez) works really hard, and will score more goals. We all are putting in the best of our efforts for a common goal, the success of our team,” said the forward further.
