QUOTES
New York City FC Head Coach Ronny Delia:
On the result...
"It was not even close to the performances we've had lately. It was a step back...overall a disappointing day. We can be better than this."
New York City FC Goalkeeper Sean Johnson
On the team's performance...
"Collectively today, it wasn't good enough. We have to be honest with ourselves. After the first goal I thought we did alright, but just little things we have to get right in games. We lost our discipline and got away from the way we wanted to play...it's a game we have to learn from if we're going to move forward and achieve things because it simply wasn't good enough today."
