""After that, we grabbed the game and we were creating the chances. The way we started the second half was amazing, we really turned things up and were efficient in everything that we did. We had to be really meticulous and understand the timing at which we were doing everything. It's a big credit to my players because against this team it isn't easy.""
""It got difficult because they are such a good team. They are where they are in the league for a reason. They are relentless and they just keep going. I thought we were really good in the first half, we were really proud of how we played. On another day we might've created one more clear-cut chance to maybe go in front, but they were really solid and really good.""
