FC DALLAS POSTGAME QUOTES
Interim head coach Peter Luccin
On the outcome of the game...
"Very disappointed, very sad, mad at the same time. With Austin beating Portland, our scenario was perfect, winning this game and going to Portland just five points away and trying to beat Portland. It's so disappointing. The goal that we conceded, the chances that we missed. Very, very disappointed. I haven't had time to talk with the players, it is a night to suffer a little bit. We didn't take care of business and it's all on us."
On Petar Musa's substitution...
"It's football, it's a state of emotion. I don't have a problem with that. In the end, they are winners and they want to do their best, and when the group isn't at their best, it's normal to be mad. He's a winner and that's it. It won't happen again but I can understand the emotion of everybody right now."
