Script:

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Ricardo Gareca, Peru head coach:

"The position we got is a good one. Within the possibilities, we made it to the last one, we wanted to go to the final but we couldn't. We leave with the satisfaction that we delivered a victory at the last game to the people, winning against a very tough opponent like Paraguay."


SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Ramon Diaz, Paraguay head coach:

"The most satisfying thing for us is the experience that the team has acquired, how they have coped against important teams. Most of the squads would have difficulties to book friendly matches against top level teams. We had the possibility to face Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay. For us, it's a huge experience and it'll help us analyse our future, what we have to do in World Cup qualifiers."
