POST-GAME COMMENTS

Thierry Henry

"You have to play well for 90 minutes. We are learning. We try to progress and now we need to do this during two halves. When you try to come from behind, it's a different challenge. Everyone goes up and everything goes faster. We had some clear chances. Now we need to do like we did in the second half and push more. We have to show that we can go there and qualify for the next round."

Joel Waterman

"We had good possession at first, but we were not doing anything with it. I'm proud of the guys in the second half and how they came out. Saphir scored an amazing goal and it got us going again. We want to come out and win it in Honduras. Our confidence is high."

Samuel Piette

"The goals we allowed were easily avoidable. With the response we gave in the second half, I think we can go there and get the result. Nothing is over. There is still the return leg. It's our first loss in 2020, but we ended the game the way we wanted. We sent Olimpia the message that we didn't give up."
