FC Dallas Postgame Quotes

FC Dallas Head Coach Luchi Gonzalez

General thoughts on the match...

"We lost in the last minute. I thought the extra time was excessive but I give the full credit to Minnesota. They pushed the game there, especially in the second half. We suffered in the second half. We tried to get through and we almost did with a point. But it didn't happen. So, obviously disappointed with that. I'm sorry to the club. I'm sorry to the fans. Personally, it hurts because we were close to getting something positive out of the game. I'll take the first half positives. I thought the first half was one of the best halves we've played in the season; home or away. End product wasn't there, too many offsides, not getting shots off. We need to have better efficiency in the last third. It's my responsibility as the head coach to grow that and develop that."

On midfielder Bryan Acosta's performance...

"Bryan had a great preseason. We had a moment in the offseason (where) he was disappointed with 2020: injuries, just lack of form and consistency. He wasn't available in the playoff run. He came in very motivated in the preseason and he's just showing the product of that focus and desire to have his best season so far."

FC Dallas Defender Tanner Tessmann

General thoughts on match.....

"I mean, yeah, you said it we put a lot of work in and we wanted to come away from this game with points. The mood in the locker room was frustrating but calm. We're ready for the next opportunity - win, show mentality. We're ready for next week against RSL."

FC Dallas Defender Jose Martinez

On the team's efforts...

"I think we had a very good first half. From defense to attack, it was a great effort and we all did our job. But at the end of the day we couldn't get the three points. We had worked hard, prepared well during the week, and we had the ambition to come here and get three points. Games can be decided by small details, and it's what happened today. We have to keep on going. This team has a lot of character and we must remain calm. We will keep on going on the path we are going to succeed and we are already planning to work ahead."
