HOUSTON DYNAMO HEAD COACH BEN OLSEN
On the game:
“We don’t like to lose, especially here at home. Give Red Bulls credit, we played into their strengths a lot of the time. We did not make the plays that mattered on both ends, but we should have still found a way to win the game."
On the play of midfielders Artur and Brooklyn Raines:
“It’s blasphemous to say anything about Artur right now. He is one of the best players we have had for the last year and a half, and I think tonight was his first mistake. Brooklyn (Raines) is learning his craft right now, and he is developing in front of our eyes. It doesn’t always go according to plan, and overall, this wasn’t a terrible game. We just shot ourselves in the foot.”
HOUSTON DYNAMO MIDFIELDER JAN GREGUS
On the game:
(on today’s game) “It was a good start. We scored a goal early, but then we basically gave it away with our mistakes. That was unfortunate. We did what we wanted, but we gave them more than they deserved.”
