Postgame comments from head coach Hernán Losada, Samuel Piette and Joel Waterman will be available here.
HERNÁN LOSADA
"We know that we are a team that wins when we have the lead and when we trail it's more complicated. We had plenty of opportunities and moments where we could have ended with a strike or more danger. That's something to improve but we will keep at it. We will do everything to get points on Saturday. It's important to finish on a positive note before the international break."
SAMUEL PIETTE
"We lacked aggressiveness in the first half. We tried to press, I felt like we were a little bit too hesitant at first. For some of us it was a first at Yankee Stadium. At home, the pitch is different and wider. We just got back from a game against New England where we sat back a little bit more, which helped us. We might've had the same idea in mind to defend a little deeper and we quickly realized that we need to be more aggressive."
JOEL WATERMAN
"We knew that it was going to be a hard game on the road, obviously. It's no surprise, in their stadium, on their pitch but it's never an excuse though."
