Red Bull New York Head Coach Dominik Wohlert
On the match…
First of all, it's like a somewhat genuine approach of like attacking these games, it's always like we think more about the performance instead of the result, so even today was a lot of positives, a bit unlucky. I think the first two goals are from set pieces, I think that we have to do better, then you are down two to nil, and then the time between the second and the third was just too quick, but again, I think the group showed great character, like I think there's a lot of potential to just say with 30 minutes still to go roundabout, you could just let the game go, and you can go in a situation where you perhaps even concede more, but the guys really took the right steps, the right learnings in that situation, and they, they were able to adjust, so we came back, three two. I think there were also a bunch of chances to even go for three to three, and in the end, when you see both halves, then I think a point would have been the correct result, but yeah, that's how football goes, so now we go back to our training field, and we practice, and we come back, so it's not too big, obviously. We want to win against our rival, so congratulations, first of all, to them, but again, it's always about us, and I think there have been a few things where we have to do better, but there’s a lot of positives to recycle.
On positives from the match…
I think just the amount of chances we've created. The amount of opportunities to score. I think also, again, like showing character, coming back into the game, like it's still a young group having that quality in the team over the course of the season, I think, like, that's really important. If you want to achieve something during a season, you have to bring these mentality skills, and I think the way the group has it, they always believe that they can score, they always believe that they can still win games, and I think if you want to be a top team, then you need that mindset, and our guys have it, and we always believe that we can still turn around games, even in the situation when we are down three to zero.

On message from Head Coach Dominik Wohlert post match…
I think the main message was just not to be discouraged. As good as it would have been, it's not really realistic to have a full undefeated season. You know, the down stretches will come at times. We were proud of the way we bounced back in the second half. That one stretch where we conceded three goals was probably our worst of the season, but to continue to show the fight and the energy is a positive to take away from the game, for sure, despite the result, and yeah, just continue to be confident, you know, like we're confident in our ability to beat teams, and I think this game shouldn't waive our confidence. We should go into next week with the same mindset, same mentality we've had all season.
On message to the fans who came to support…
I just want to thank them for bringing the energy. We really appreciate all the people that take their time to come and watch us play at second team games. And when we were three nil down, they didn't give up on us. They gave us the energy that helped us get back in the game, and yeah, you know, the momentum wasn’t in our way. Maybe if we had 10 more minutes we would have gotten another one, but yeah, we're really grateful for them for showing up every week.
