Post-game comments from head coach Wilfried Nancy, midfielder Samuel Piette and defender Zorhan Bassong are available here.

WILFRIED NANCY

"The first half is tough to digest because we had chances from Romell [Quioto]. But I liked the second half with a lot more personality. It's too bad we couldn't score the second goal when it was 3-1. I think that at times we were playing and they just had three consecutive goals. They are very good at that. In the second half we had good opportunities. We lost tonight, but the guys kept going and we played our football. We didn't try to invent things, but in the final third we did lack efficiency and presence."

SAMUEL PIETTE

"New England was better in the first half than the second. The three quick goals on three chances hurt us. We created a few opportunities in the second half, but not being able to score that goal to stay in the game was very frustrating. We're not happy with the result, but it wasn't an awful game looking at the whole game."

ZORHAN BASSONG

"We're frustrated that we conceded all those goals. New England has a very strong attacking trio. They had a lot of chances. I think there's still work to be done. Both teams were able to create scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to capitalize on ours. In the second half, two beautiful crosses came from the right and found nobody. If we managed to put those two goals in, it would have given the game a new outlook."
