chances couple created gave good great night sound
Very very good performance, very solid. I thought that defensively we were sound all night and never really gave them a sniff, created a couple of great chances going forward,
ball chance clean happier pass result sheet
On the road, 0-0, clean sheet with a chance to take it back home, we'll take it. It wasn't one of our better nights. We couldn't pass the ball very well. ... But we're probably happier with the result than they are.
ball chances created eddie goal goes good inside moved sharp yards
We moved the ball very well and it created some good chances for us, especially in the first half. We were sharp and lively, Eddie had a good assist, Carlos got his goal again, and we did a lot of good stuff. We had two good chances from inside 12 yards in the first half, and if one of those goes in, we're one up and it's a different story.
chances close couple dominated dragged few gave goal half hard knew minutes night ourselves played toll took toward twice wednesday
First half we dominated the game. We had a couple chances (and) the first goal we knew was going to be important. We dragged ourselves back twice from behind; we showed a lot of character. ... We played 120 hard minutes on Wednesday night and I think it took its toll on us toward the end. We couldn't get close enough to them at times and we gave up a few chances.
came chances create deserved good half mostly players pressure second strong team
In the first half they had a pretty strong team out there, we had mostly young players and the reserves. They edged the first half and probably deserved to be up 1-0 at halftime. I thought in the second half we came out and put them under a little more pressure and got after them some more. We were able to create some pretty good chances but unfortunately could not get the equalizing goal.
chance changes clark coming game half happen lift second three
(The first goal) changes the game doesn't it, coming out like that in the second half. I thought that the first half was pretty even, they had the one chance where (Ricardo) Clark got through, and we had two or three opportunities that were close. We just need one of them to go to give you a lift and a boost, but that just didn't happen tonight.
despite gear
We just could not get into gear even after we scored despite having most of the possession.
energy life middle missed
We missed his energy and his life through the middle of the park.
ability add excited happy player
We're very excited and happy to be able to add a player with Scott's experience, ability and leadership,
excited great heard talent
We're very excited about it. Young kid, a lot of talent, heard a lot of great things about him. It will be interesting to see how he does with us.
everybody game impact played plenty time
It was an end-to-end game with plenty of chances. The humidity probably had a little impact on everybody -- the first time everyone has played in that kind of weather.
field home knew lift ourselves reason result results spirit starting took
The spirit has always been pretty good. We always had belief, we just weren't getting any results because of some little things, ... There wasn't any one reason that things weren't going right so we knew that once we got the first result that things would lift off. This is our home, our home field and it took a while to give it ourselves a home-field advantage, but we're starting to do that.
attracts game holds passes people scoring sees
There's so much more to his game than just scoring goals. He sees passes that other people don't see. He holds the ball. He attracts a lot of attention.
again freedom gives good middle outside playing ronnie switch
Ronnie started in the middle but he has freedom to roam. With Ramon playing outside of him, and with Ramon being comfortable outside or inside, it's good that they can switch and that again gives us good flexibility.
