Everton goalkeeper Asmir Begovic says they're happy with their shootout win against Celtic in Sydney.
Begovic says Everton's penalty shootout victory over Celtic will help rebuild the squad's confidence after a disappointing final week before the World Cup break.
More than 41,000 spectators packed into Accor Stadium in Australia to watch the Blues take on the reigning Scottish champions in the Sydney Super Cup.
After a goalless 90 minutes, Michael Keane, Tom Cannon, Nathan Patterson and Anthony Gordon all scored from 12 yards to seal a 4-2 spot-kick victory and send Everton's Australian fanbase home happy.
Speaking to evertontv afterwards, Begovic said: "Of course, it's always nice to win. Every good performance, every good result helps with that [confidence].
"We had a difficult week and that's how quickly things can change in football - one bad week and things can look a little bit doom and gloom, but we're going to try to rebuild.
"We've got a good break here coming up as well. Hopefully we can finish the tour with another good performance and result on Wednesday and then take stock from there and see what we can do in the second half of the season.
"Today's result was good for the atmosphere and obviously very important to our fans here. There was a huge number of them here and I didn't know we had this many fans in Australia, to be honest.
"It just shows how big of a club Everton is. We always talk about it but whenever we travel, you see Blues all around and it just confirms that feeling and shows the tradition of the fanbase around the world.
"It's been great to come here - I know Everton haven't been here in a long time, so to come here and see the fans and put on a performance for them is very pleasing.
"It was nice to win, nice to put on a performance, and when you play a team like Celtic you know you're always going to be in for a competitive game - that's exactly what we got today.
"I think the commitment, the effort the attitude was spot on, which is exactly what you need.
"Obviously, we've had a long few days travelling and everything so we need to be fully committed to get a performance and that's exactly what we did. It's nice to get the reward at the end."
