WILFRIED NANCY
"The emotions tonight were high, but we played a very good game. Humbly, we could have put up more goals tonight. It's solid what the players did tonight. We were coming off two losses, but they were not deserved. Tonight, with the rivalry, the guys wanted to do well, so bravo. We controlled their counterattacks more. In the Canadian Championship, we had opportunities to score, but we didn't defend their offensive transition. It was better tonight."
ROMELL QUIOTO
"That's what soccer is about sometimes. You have good games and bad games. We were aware that regardless of what happened in Toronto [in the Canadian Championship], this game was going to be very different, and we were able to get three crucial points tonight."
RUDY CAMACHO
"Lately we haven't been conceding many chances, but we've been giving up goals anyway. It's good to win in an atmosphere like tonight. We dominated our game and today we managed to hold on to the final result."
