After the match, upon returning to the hotel, players with less playing time did some training at a nearby park.
After lunch and a break, since it was the first match of the day, we had some free time in the afternoon and went shopping at a nearby mall from 4 PM.
After an early dinner, we had a meeting at 8 PM and then went to bed in preparation for tomorrow's match.
