Quotes:

Head Coach Carlos Llamosa

(On the result)

"It was a game of two halves. I think we played well in the first half. We scored a goal, the penalty kick, had another one disallowed, we created a couple more goal opportunities as well with Juan [Agudelo], Jorge [Hernandez], and Kyle [Linhares], Diogo [Pacheco], but in the second half, Detroit came out with a good intensity and that's something that we didn't handle well, so we need to work on those moments, especially away. When the home team is losing, you expect that kind of intensity so we need to be ready next time to keep the lead."

(On managing Detroit's pressure)

"I have to give credit to the guys. Even though we spent a lot of time defending, I think we did it really well. Their goal came on a free kick, not in the run of play. They had a lot of crosses, and we defended those crosses well, so I have to give credit to my guys. The way they defended, they were really good."

(On regrouping for the upcoming stretch at home)

"Well first, we'll rest the next two days, make sure to get our energy back. We'll start working during the week. It's another tough match. From now on, every single game is a final for us, home and away."

Midfielder Nicky Hernandez

(On the draw)

"I think it's a good result. With the stadium, Detroit fans have a really good atmosphere. I do think maybe we could've saw the win out, but we take a point in a tough environment.

(On refocusing for the last part of the season)

"We have to win the small battles first and get the small wins in order to see change. It's not going to be day-and-night. Obviously, we're in a little bit of a slump but I think heading into these last few games of the season, I think we'll be in a good position heading into playoffs with momentum in our favor. Like I said, we'll take small little wins. It's a tough environment, and I think that's a good point on the road."
