THIERRY HENRY

"At halftime, I told the players that we produced good soccer. I told them we needed to keep shooting and creating chances. We were rewarded with a goal from Victor Wanyama. I would also like to congratulate this D.C. United team that comes back from far. It was the last game to reach the playoffs. So, both teams wanted to go with a knock-out. We were able to come back in the second half and we fought. Could we have qualified before tonight? Yes. But we did it against a team that plays well and fought well. I'm happy with the group."

BOJAN

"We knew we needed a goal. We believed in it. We have a good team with good players and good staff. It's been difficult and I don't know if people realize what this team has gone through in the last two months. This team deserves a spot in the playoffs. I'm feeling great and I'm enjoying playing. And now I'm enjoying being in the MLS playoffs. The coach believes in his players and we believe in the players that we have. I'm happy for Mason today with the assist he did. It's not easy when you go to a new team. Today he came on and did a good job."

ROMELL QUIOTO

"I'm happy with the playoff qualification. I'm proud of the group and the club. As a team we fought to reach the objective we had until the beginning. I'm obviously sad for what is happening in my country and I pray God for everyone there. I want to thank my teammates and the staff who have been really supportive to me with what has been happening in my country and since I joined the club. It means a lot to represent my country, especially in a moment like now. I believed I would get that goal for my team and for my country."
