Firstly, you need to select the purple menu icon at the bottom right corner of the screen to bring up the match details. Then, on the Overview tab, simply tap on the friend request icon beside the player you want to add.
A message prompt will show up, confirming that you have successfully added the trainer. If it doesn't pop up immediately, perhaps your device has run in some connectivity issues.

Each player can only add up to 500 trainers to their friends list. It is a high number, so feel free to send friend requests to other trainers you want to play with!
