SKCvPHI Quotes: "To get those three points today is huge"

Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes

On the team’s halftime adjustments…

I think we were better in the second half. I think we had a much better mentality and I think we were smarter in the game. The other thing, too, is that we dealt with their direct play a lot better in the second half.

On securing the first points of the season…

When you play the Eastern Conference teams, those points are like bonus points. So to get those three points today is huge. The way I look at it, last year we didn’t get the three points at their place so getting those three points now – hopefully we can climb up the ladder a little quicker.
