Pakistan's veteran player Sohail Abbas said it was a great feeling and he and his teammates felt that they were playing in Lahore or Karachi. Sohail made the comment after his team's 2-1 victory over the Spaniards.

"We will put this victory behind us and prepare for the next match. We are not thinking of the semifinal or the final. We are taking one game at a time," he said.
