MARCO DONADEL

"I think we played a very solid game. We had some good chances in the first half. We played solid defensively, but we lacked the energy to go for that second goal. It's frustrating. Individually, Atlanta is a very good team, and we respected them, but it was difficult."

VICTOR LOTURI

"Obviously there was a bit of frustration, conceding that late in the game. I think we should have won that game. I think we defended well, and that we should have seen the game out but I think it was just more frustration for everything you put in that game."

PRINCE OWUSU

"I was ready and very proud to wear the captain's armband of this Club tonight. It was an honour for me today and I really enjoyed it. The team wasn't happy with one point. We wanted to win this game and this is what I want to see, the hunger and the desire to win. In the dressing room, I told the guys that it was sad how it happened, but we played another 90 minutes, we had a very good fight and had chances. The first half was good and not everything is bad. We need to learn from it, keep going and do better next time."
