HERNÁN LOSADA

"It has been a tough season on the road, but we're in the position we are now thanks to our home form. We tried to take points tonight, but we weren't up to it. We came up against a good team. Our next two games are at home, and it will be crucial to pick up points. We're still confident we will make the playoffs. There is still hope. We've worked very hard to get where we are. We need to stay together for the end of the season."

NATHAN SALIBA

"It was frustrating tonight because we were all on the same page trying to get a good result. It is complicated to play on the road. We need to focus on the next two games at home. We're going to work hard to be ready for these two big games."

MASON TOYE

"We played two good teams in the last two matches. We knew it was going to be difficult. It is always a tough environment here in Orlando. Collectively we have got to keep pushing at home with two big games coming up. We have to continue to grind and collect points at home where we are more confident. Our fans will be behind us."
