Quotes:

Head Coach Carlos Llamosa

(On the result)

"Well it was one point away. It's important for us to continue adding points on the table, but it felt like once again, we had two different halves. The first half, we kept the possession, we created a few chances and then in the second half, we gave the ball away a little bit, but even with that, once again we created chances and continue working. I know the guys are going in the right direction and working hard, and it's going to pay off. I have faith in my team and I trust my players, and I know we're going to be better."

(On working to close games out)

"We need to continue working on what we practice. In the first half, we used a lot of short passes, building from the back, we were really good. We had good sequences and we had longer possession. In the second half, we decreased that part of the game, so that's when we gave Las Vegas the ball and they attack us. I need to watch the replay of the penalty kick again, but as I said, we're going in the right path. The guys are getting what we're trying to do on the field, and I know right now is gonna be tough, a lot of games against direct opponents in the West, and those are the games we like, so hopefully we continue getting points away and try to get the three points at home."

(On Berron's first professional goal)

"[I've noticed] his hard work. As a team, that's what we're trying to do and for Lucio, it finally paid off. He's the guy who, when he decides to press, he wins a lot of balls for us and this time, outside the box, he got rewarded. Hopefully he can score more goals, and I'm very happy for him."

Defender Harvey Neville

(On the draw)

"For us, it's probably two points dropped. We obviously came in to win and were ahead, but at the end of the day, we'll take a point away from home for me to get an assist is a massive moment and hopefully, in the future, we can win the game."
