QUOTE SHEET
ORLANDO CITY SC 2-2 REAL SALT LAKE
SUNDAY, MARCH 6, 2016; CITRUS BOWL
Real Salt Lake
Head Coach Jeff Cassar
On the team's overall performance:
"The last six minutes we became fatigued on discipline, not recognizing the dangers and we paid the price. Things happen fast and this is a coaching point for us and you have to finish out the game, finish out every play all the way to the end. Crazy things happen and that was pretty crazy."
On the end of the game and key factors:
"Our schedule has been busy and I'm not going to use that as excuse, but our guys have gone through a lot. I thought the guys played well in all the games and were very focused and in tune. This one we unraveled at a poor time and give credit to Orlando City, to be putting the ball in dangerous areas and over the top and sometimes the dam breaks, but we shouldn't let it happen."
On being down a man most of the game:
"We had a game similar to that in our preseason against New England, it was not foreign to the players and we thought the group came together and did a great job."
Forward Joao Plata
On the game:
"It was a very difficult game, sadly we couldn't finish, but we hope to redeem ourselves next week in front of our fans."
Defender Jamison Olave
On the game:
"A tie, that hurts. We played well, dominated, and created options but unfortunately towards the end of the game we slacked on the back line and it cost us two points we should've had."
Forward Juan Manuel Martinez
On the game:
"We played well until the last five minutes and they took advantage of that and tied up the game. We made mistakes and they capitalized on that."
Orlando City SC
Head Coach Adrian Heath
On the game:
"We started the game very well; we moved the ball and looked dangerous. I told the players that the first goal would be hugely important today. I was confident to go on and win the game when [Demar Phillips] was sent off first. Can't ask the players of anymore. The team has to be better and will be better than that. Some aspects of the play were pleasing, some were disappointing."
On team's resiliency:
"They keep going. [They] kept going all afternoon. We had four or five good chances before the goal. The crowd was unbelievable even when we were two goals down. I always thought we were going to score. I didn't expect it to be as late as it was, but I always thought we would get a goal at one stage."
On the overall match:
"I thought we started the game well; we moved the ball dangerously. I knew before the game started the first goal was going to be important because [Real Salt Lake] are very good on the counter attack. The one thing the players have done is give us everything they've got and it was one of the games I thought we were going to be susceptible and we have to better. We will be better than that. Some of it was disappointing."
Midfielder Adrian Winter
On overall performance:
"It was a tough game. I want to thank the supporters for pushing through it until the end. They gave us energy until the 94th minute. It was wonderful throughout the whole game, especially at the end with [Cyle} and I with the two goals. We'll take this point and move forward."
Forward Cyle Larin
On the game's ending:
"There was a lot of space on the field and we kept pushing and working. We fought all game and made a couple of mistakes but it was coming. After I got my first one the team was ready to keep going and we pushed forward and got the second goal."
