HOUSTON DYNAMO HEAD COACH BEN OLSEN
On the result:
“We are disappointed because it was a pretty good performance to go away in altitude and play this team this way. We got caught on a set piece that unfortunately drops to them, and that is how the game goes sometimes. The chances we created and did not capitalize on is the story. We entered their half quite frequently and created enough high-level chances to get at least something out of this game. We have no business leaving this game without a goal, and that hurts, but this is how it goes, and we did not make the play that mattered today. We have to deal with that, but we will get back to work to get ready for two really good teams coming into town next week.”
On the importance of upcoming games:
“It is all big. This is it. Every game for the rest of the season is huge because that is where we are living. We live right on that edge. That was also echoed to the players, and we will get back to work.”
