Head coach Eric Quill

On tonights performance...

""I'm super proud of the guys. They fought from the first minute to the 95th with heart and soul and found moments of quality to win the game. Our honesty behind the ball was outstanding. What I asked for was a way to get a shutout, and I think we held them to zero shots on goal. To do that on the road in this stadium against a side with Red Bull's quality says a lot about the effort our guys put in."

On the keys to snapping a four game winless streak...

""It was a collective effort behind the ball. We always say that when we're organized and press out of our structure, we can win the ball in good areas and get back behind it. The commitment to the game plan and the discipline to keep shifting were key. This is a great side that can move the ball and play through lines, so the awareness at the back post was important. Late in the game, I loved our block defending to close it out. It's a collective game, and they deserved the result based on how they played."

On Sam Sarver's first MLS goal...

"I didn't realize it was Sam's first goal, but he's going to have many more. He deserves it. He plays with his heart on his sleeve. It was a great ball by Logan. Those guys came in as subs, and you want your subs to raise the level, and they did that. They came in and helped put the game away. I'm proud of Sam because he works his tail off every day in training and deserves this moment."

Forward Petar Musa

On tonights performance and the MLS Golden Boot race...

"I'm very happy with our performance today. We worked hard and deserved to win. Personally, It would mean a lot for me to win the Golden Boot, but I always focus on the team. I want to help with goals and help out defensively. Getting three points is the most important thing. It was especially important after four losses. We know how hard we've worked, and today we played as a team, controlled the game and gained confidence for the upcoming matches."

Midfielder Sam Sarver

On scoring his first MLS goal...

"Obviously, it's special. It's something I've worked toward my whole life, and I'm never content with where I'm at. Growing up, to be able to say you scored in MLS in front of all these people is a 'I really made it' moment. But I still have a lot more I want to accomplish, and this is just the first step. I feel super grateful. I'm nothing without God. He got me here, and I'm just happy I get to do it on the big stage. Shoutout to Logan for the ball."

On the coaching staff's message before entering the match...

"They told me that Logan and I were coming on and gave us some defensive instructions. Then one of the assistant coaches, I think it was Mark Briggs, said, 'Go win the game for us. Put it to bed.' Five minutes later, we did just that."

On snapping the four game winless streak...

"No, it's obviously huge. Our side of the conference is doing really well this year, so it's important to keep winning, especially since we haven't won here in 20 years. It's really cool to be part of the team that breaks that streak."
