Emile Smith Rowe scored the only goal of the game in the second half.

Silva acknowledged that the team's first half performance was slow, with too much focus on possession and not enough aggression on the ball.

He noted that even with a high percentage of possession, the team struggled to create chances without being more dynamic and aggressive.

Silva emphasized the importance of increasing the tempo and intensity in the second half, which led to more chances and ultimately the goal.

The manager also acknowledged that it wasn't a strong performance from the team's more creative players, who were expected to shine in a game of this type.

Despite the lackluster performance, Silva was pleased that the team was able to meet their expectation and advance to the next round.
