Explanation

In indirect speech, the reporting verb ("said") is changed to a verb that indicates the manner in which the speech was delivered ("applauded"). The conjunction "that" is used to introduce the reported speech. The pronouns ("you all") are changed to "they" to reflect the shift from the perspective of the speaker to that of the reported speech. The verb tense "have scored" is changed to "had scored" to maintain the correct sequence of tenses.
