Bompastor on Baltimore
Bompastor said: "I’m happy for them, especially Sandy. She hasn’t had a lot of minutes recently, but that was the best answer she could give to me."
Bompastor said: "When you play a team that is sitting more in the low block, she brings a lot of quality on crosses, but also on the ball, and she can beat her opponent one-on-one."
Malard scores twice
Bompastor said: "I wasn’t expecting Melvine to score from distance like that. She has the ability to create those goals. She’s an important player for us and I’m glad for her that she scored a really difficult goal."
Bompastor said: "It makes things even better for her, and scoring like that is always good for her confidence."
