Toronto FC 1, NY Red Bulls 1
Q. How did it feel to score at home and how did the play unfold for you?
RALPH PRISO: It was good. The first goal I've scored at any level in a couple years, so it was good. I just saw a one-on-one against Duncan and I thought to get in the box, because I knew he would beat his man and get in the box and I was alone, so if the ball got to me, which it did, I would be there to finish it and I did.
Q. Congratulations on your first goal. Your goal celebration was pretty low key, especially for a guy celebrating his first goal. Is that your nature or because of the timing of the goal that you didn't go too crazy or anything like that?
RALPH PRISO: I guess a little bit of everything. I'm just like that in general, just calm, don't get too excited. A little bit was it was only once, so I didn't want to go celebrate too much. We wanted a second one, and a little bit of it was I just didn't really realize that I scored. I was just kind of, like, frozen in the moment, but until I took it in and I put it in the net. So a little bit of everything.
Q. After a good, long while spent on the road, you got to make your home debut. How has it been for you and the team being back in town and playing in BMO Field?
RALPH PRISO: It's been good to train at the training ground, see the fans and be with our families all the time and be in a familiar environment it helps us mentally to just kind of be more relaxed and more focused and more, just enjoy it a little bit more. It's good.
Q. You're a hometown kid and I believe this is your first time playing at BMO Field in front of fans. Can you just walk us through what was going through your mind when you were stepping into the match there for the first time and how was the environment overall today?
RALPH PRISO: It was a great environment, when I got subbed in, I tried to just play my game but I think before my goal, I was not good. I think I gave a couple balls away. I think I was processing things a little bit slowly. I think I wasn't good at all before my goal and after my goal, that just took a weight off me and I just started playing a little bit more freely and more just relaxed and being more comfortable and I think after that, I had a better performance.
So I think being able to just play, I stopped thinking. I was just playing, just finding space and combining with guys. I think after the goal, I really stepped up and showed my real level. Now I just have to keep doing that.
Q. Was your mom or your brother in attendance tonight?
RALPH PRISO: My brother was here. My brother and a couple of my youth coaches were here tonight, so that's good.
