Philadelphia Union Head Coach Jim Curtin
Opening statement…
Overall, a good team performance from the group. Obviously, early goals can sometimes change games, the early penalty made us play a first half that was maybe a little I thought tentative in terms of our pressure to the ball, something that, if we don't have, we're not a strong team and I felt that the first half we allowed New England too much time and space in our home building. We talked about it at halftime, about closing guys, in terms of coming out of that jog, it's almost as if we were jogging side-to-side, protecting a one goal lead, which is a dangerous ask in this league.
