Mirtha Uribe, Peru captain: "I think we got the game we wanted. We played well with the service and it worked, but Colombia has an important force in the attack and today we had problems to control their opposite, Dayana Segovia."
Luizomar De Moura, Peru coach: "I congratulate Colombia because they played a great game. We are two Brazilian coaches who like to work with young athletes and today we knew the difficulty of facing a rival led by a great strategist like Antonio Rizola. It was very important for us to be able to get ahead in such a tight-fought match."
María Alejandra Marín, Colombia captain: "We lack international experience, we are very young players and with few matches as a team. Many of us have individual experience but we need to play more as a group. I congratulate Peru for the great game they played today. "
