Media Conference


NY Red Bulls - 4, Toronto - 1

Q. Jesús, congratulations on the goal. Can you just sort of walk us through that play. How did it unfold for you?

JESÚS JIMÉNEZ: It was a quick play. The wing back kind of like has the control and centered the ball. I was in the area, and I know that the players are not going to touch me. So I just keep control of the ball, and I score.

It's a shame we couldn't get any positive result from this, but it's good that the goal could give a little bit of momentum at that point.

Q. In the beginning of the game, Toronto seemed to be doing fairly well on the offense, and you had more of the ball. Was it a shock that you went into halftime trailing 4-1?

JESÚS JIMÉNEZ: Yeah, of course, it was shocking and surprising to see that. We enter the game with all the positive momentum that we wanted to win the game, with the idea of controlling the game, having possession of the ball. But the other team had opportunities, and they scored those goals.

That's the way soccer is. It's difficult. At the end of the day when you're down 4-1 or 4-0, every play gets even harder. And when you make mistakes, it gets even worse. So it was a difficult day for us, of course, but there isn't much I can say. It was a bad day for us.
