Despite their gallant efforts Scotland coach Anna Signeul said: "The score line did not reflect the performance of the team and I was very pleased with some aspects of Scotland's play tonight, particularly their defensive play. We are developing as a team, give us a little more time and we will be at this level and able to compete with the best in Europe." Russian coach Yury Bystritskiy said that he had seen a great improvement in Scotland from when they last played in August last year and during periods of the game Russia were seriously worried about the threat from Scotland.
