Boroughmuir Thistle 1-3 Aberdeen: What the managers said

Boroughmuir Thistle head coach Andy Enwood: "I want to credit the players, I'm really happy with what they did. They've been working on a new shape the last few weeks, so to implement that against a SWPL 1 team, in the manner they did, I'm really happy.

"We ran out of steam a bit at the end and we had to go chasing a bit, but the first half was very comfortable. We were dangerous on the break, and on top of our goal we had a few more opportunities we could have taken."

Aberdeen head coach Scott Booth: "It was as challenging as we expected. They’re a strong side, and they caused us problems, catching us off guard early in the game. It was a disappointing goal for us to concede, but we managed to get back into the game.

"In the first half, we didn’t trouble them too much, and I had a few words with the players at half-time. I felt we were a bit passive, especially in possession. We needed to assert ourselves more and show greater authority in the game.

"The response in the second half was excellent. The players deserve credit for coming from behind, especially after the last week they’ve had. It hasn’t been easy for them. It would have been easy to let their heads drop, especially given the physical toll of playing two tough games in one week. But they rallied, and even though we got that first goal, we continued to push for more."
