Post-game comments of head coach Wilfried Nancy, Djordje Mihailovic and Kamal Miller available here.

WILFRIED NANCY

"It was a crazy end to the game and it's a textbook case of being calm and cool. I told the players at halftime, in all honesty, that I knew we could win this game. But we had to be even more calm, not get into their game and that we were going to find that pass that could beat them. I'm proud of the players because we took a lot of risks tonight by attacking with three, so I'm very happy."

DJORDJE MIHAILOVIC

"People can look at the penalty kick call a few different ways. As an attacking player, you want the referee to give you the call. I know the scenario was a bit unusual. I've never played a game where you take a penalty kick three times. At the end of the day, as long as the ball goes in and we get three points it doesn't matter to me."

KAMAL MILLER

"It felt good to have all the guys we were missing in D.C. It showed with all their experience. Kiki, Victor and Rudy are important to the defense. And when they play it proves how important they are. Victor with the game winning goal shows how important he and the others are."
