Game Quotes
Montreal Impact Head Coach, Marco Schällibaum
In the first half, we suffered a little bit, especially the first 10 minutes. We played too far away from New York when defending and didn't create anything up until we scored and then it lifted us a little. The second half was better. We seem to score goals at opportune moments in a game.
Montreal Impact Forward, Marco Di Vaio
I felt good out there tonight. I fell like things are getting better for me every game and I reacted well in finding space when moving forward.We are creating a lot of chances and we keep improving on the mental aspect of the game, but the season is long and we have to keep working and improving. We are pleased because we just beat a very good team.
Montreal Impact Defender, Karl W. Ouimette
I was nervous... really nervous. I got goose bumps all over. But once you get your first touch, you get into the game. Then I won my first duel and it gave me confidence going forward.
