Quotes from the AP
"I suppose you can compare this match with the match four weeks ago, it was the same," said Rost, referring to New York's 1-0 win here Sept. 17 that sparked the Red Bulls' 4-2-1 stretch run that helped them land the final spot in the postseason. "We defended well and we scored with our two chances and that's football."
"A solid game for us, definitely the key for us was our defense," said New York coach Hans Backe, whose club has now won four consecutive road playoff matches. "Even when we were one down, they still showed unbelievable discipline in our defense. I'm excited, I'm very pleased with our defense."
"I really thought that we came out very lively and with really good team chemistry and to do everything we possibly could to get the result we wanted," said Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman. "I thought we put some really good pressure on New York, but we just couldn't get on the end of some of the services, or we couldn't get the shot on frame. I thought we did everything we possibly could. No excuses, they came in and beat us on our field."
