Toronto FC 4, Nashville 3
Q. How big, considering how the team has struggled to get results on the road and down to the nitty-gritty in the season, how big was this win for the club tonight?
JONATHAN OSORIO: Of course, it's huge. We understand the situation that we're in in the table and everything. So we know that every game now is a final from here on forward.
It's huge, the fact that it's an away win as well. It gives the group a lot of confidence and a big three points, and you know, a couple of things to clean up that we're aware of for sure, everybody. But we'll clean those up, and I think this is huge for the team going forward and yeah we're going to use this game to build off of.
Q. It seemed like Richie didn't miss a beat. What was it like having him back on the field?
JONATHAN OSORIO: Amazing, of course. We love him here at the club. I think it's very obvious how much we value him and it shows with what they went -- the lengths they went to get him back here. Richie loves this club as well. I think Toronto gave him a chance at a time in his career where he really needed it and you know, he's been fine ever since.
It's been great and of course we're happy to have him back. He gets the penalty; it's like he never left. It's amazing.
Q. What was the key after you scored twice in the first half and they tied it both times, controversial goals, what was the key to you guys being able to regroup heading into the second half?
JONATHAN OSORIO: I think it was to keep mentally strong for sure. Those two goals were a bit difficult to give up. Both I think we could have avoided as well. We shot ourselves on both leading to those goals. We know this and we're going to clean it up, and I think we did a great job.
We showed a great mentality of a team, of a very good team to come out of halftime away from home and not letting those two goals give them momentum. We came out with clear heads and continued to keep playing the game and playing to our strengths, and we got those two goals.
Yeah, I think a great mentality win for the team.
Q. What did you make of that goal from Insigne tonight?
JONATHAN OSORIO: Amazing goal. Amazing goal. I think you know, he's been looking for it I think, and it's a shame I think he's been doing really well in the games that he's been here and he's also still getting fit and used to the League. You know, I'm sure the pressure from outside is that he has to score every game but as long as he keeps performing, that's what we need from him but today he got his goal and I think we are all so happy for him. His goal just shows the quality that he is.
Amazing goal. Ends up being the game winner, so a very important goal for us as well, so we are super happy for him.
