QUOTE SHEET | Fire react to road loss at Columbus

Head Coach Veljko Paunovic
On his team’s performance
"Congrats to Columbus on a win, first of all, and good luck further in the season. I think today we actually killed ourselves. I think we conceded things and mistakes that we had and the adjustments we did weren’t good enough. I just think in the second half especially, at some point, even controlling the game we dropped the attitude and the concentration; we lost a couple of very dangerous balls and teams like Columbus will always punish you for that. I think without taking credit [away] from Columbus, I think we lost the game definitely today in our approach in the second half and we all have to get better.
