Toronto FC 3, Philadelphia 1
Q. That was a long time coming. Maybe you can speak to how big that win was?
DEANDRE KERR: Yeah, it was long, long, long overdue. We've been training so hard, especially after the Leagues Cup, we had a bit of a break. We really, really worked hard for this moment, and it's a great feeling and now we wants to keep it going. We haven't had this feeling in a long time. The fans haven't had this feeling in a long time. Now that we have it, we want to keep it going.
Q. Can you walk us through the goal?
Yeah, it was -- I was happy that I was sort of working with Oso today because I know when he gets on a hot turn, he's going to find me in those little gaps, which is exactly what he did. Yeah, I had kind of like a shaky touch but I know Lorenzo, that's his favourite spot when the ball goes wide, so I didn't have to look. I just knew he was going to be there, and I put it back.
Q. That ball from Kobe --
Oh, yeah, the ball from Kobe was perfect. Literally perfect, right to Fede. Fede saw me. It was a good comeback. It deflected a bit, and I think the deflection helped me, so I was able to turn and finish.
Q. How much more --
Maybe a few centimeters.
Q. The fact that you guys took the lead today, which the first time -- how much did that set you up for success in this match?
Yeah, it's a huge boost. We know how good of a team Philly is. They are one of the best teams in the MLS. So to score first against them, it definitely gave us a boost. Like yeah, we can go win this game even more. So it was definitely a boost.
Q. How did it feel to get Terry his first win as a coach?
It felt great. Terry and all the staff, like nobody has worked harder than them behind the scenes in training. I know how much it means to me and the team, so I can only imagine how much it means to him. It's a great feeling.
Q. Can you take us inside a little bit? I know you guys have a day off tomorrow and a little break. What's the feeling?
Just happiness, smiles. We're laughing. Feelings we haven't had in a long time, and yeah, it's just happiness.
