Their self-confidence also continued after the match.
Then, celebrating in the capital and enjoying a lighting show as brilliant as their own performance, the smiles may no longer disappear from the players’ faces.
They knew they had just installed one of the most complete, inventive and controlling aggressive shows in Scotland in some time. However, they don’t seem to be preventing that.
Erin Cuthbert, who ended her world goal drought with one of her signature long-range moves, believes they are “on another level yet.”
“It’s a scary thing,” he told BBC Scotland. “I still think we have more to come, even though we played very well tonight.”
Weir, who spent the last era watching the crew from afar, said they are “determined and ready” to defeat Finland.
“That’s already two cup finals, right?” he added. “That’s what we’ve been working towards. We’ve been through the play-off process before and we know how difficult it can be.
“That sadness [from previous play-offs]makes us resilient.
“We are determined and ready to compete against Finland.”
That was the fighting communication of a team that has had difficult times against the Finns.
Martínez Losa’s words worked wonders and his team generously supported them. He is simply too old to provoke any further rallying cry.
In every capacity, he will need to be bigger and braver to exile the playoff pain synonymous with the Scots.
