Post-game comments from Head Coach Wilfried Nancy, midfielder Djordje Mihailovic and defender Rudy Camacho are available here.

WILFRIED NANCY

"We needed more speed in our game in the second half. We didn't particularly need to draw them out to get that speed because they were already set up with a low block. I asked the players to play faster and find players more between the lines to keep them off balance."

"I made a tactical adjustment at halftime. I told Samuel [Piette] that I was going to take him out. And I want to thank him for his reaction. He's our captain. I told him I was making a tactical change and he understood the reason. His spirit was beyond reproach. He galvanized the team and I'm grateful for that. That's why we won the game."

DJORDJE MIHAILOVIC

"There are always ups and downs in a season. It is important that this is the time when we start feeling good about each other. In my first year in Chicago, we went into our playoff game a little "under the table." This is the part of the season where, if you're feeling confident, you'll ride that momentum into the playoffs."

RUDY CAMACHO

"This is an important win. We had to stay focused with what we had to do and not think too much about the standings or the playoffs. We want to do what the coach tells us and to keep going. We don't want to take the upcoming games lightly. We have several games coming up, but we give everything on the field. We have back-to-back games, but it's better than weeks without a game. The game was not easy with several duels and long throw-ins, but we did our best. We adjusted in the second half by finding more solutions in front of goal."
