THIERRY HENRY

"We reacted great. After a tough start, we started to apply our structure, but more importantly, we scored goals. It became a bit of a weird game in the last 20 minutes, but it isn't easy to come here and do what we've done, so we're happy with it. We scored four away goals, but it will be a different game on Wednesday."

"Samuel has been comfortable in that role for a while now. He finds himself in good situations. I knew it was going to come sooner or later."

SAMUEL PIETTE

"It feels good to score my first MLS goal in a winning situation. It was a good night for me, but mostly for the team. In a more offensive role, you have to try to contribute to the score sheet. It's a role in which I'm more comfortable and with the quality of the players around me, it's easy to shine."

SAPHIR TAÏDER

"We controlled the game. We created many chances. We deserved this result. In the next game, we will try to attack to win and to avoid conceding goals."
