What they’re saying

“It's a beautiful performance. Some great spells of football that I just think we're growing and I love where we're heading, but I'm proud of the complete team, defending set pieces, attacking set pieces, transitions, everything was honest with us tonight, and they deserve this four goal win.”

— Eric Quill, FC Dallas Head Coach

“I saw there was a lot of space, Ramiro played a great ball. I kind of lost [the ball] for a second, but I found it, I was able to bring it down, and then just wanted to get an extra touch so I could get slotted near post past the keeper.”

— Logan Farrington, FC Dallas Forward

“We talked about that we've given up six goals in the last two games, and that's not us. We really wanted to focus on who we were behind the ball. We know we have quality going forward, those concepts and those things are there. The collective behind the ball, making sure that we're not giving up big chances on the road, giving them life.”

— Eric Quill, FC Dallas Head Coach

“Yeah, I think we're just building off last year. We're very familiar with everybody. We've added a couple pieces which make us better, and every week, we're pushing each other. We're getting used to each other. We're just building as a team and knowing everybody's roles without having to say them.”

— Logan Farrington, FC Dallas Forward

“I just like the collective and how they're connected, the honesty, it's truly a team. I've got so many guys that should deserve to start. It's a shame you can only start 11.”

— Eric Quill, FC Dallas Head Coach
