LA Galaxy 3, FC Dallas 1

Q. Dejan, we saw the first penalty was a miss. The second one, do you guys discuss who is taking it or just took the ball and said you were going to take it?

DEJAN JOVELJIC: I took the ball and I think that Maya came to someone, I think Diego and he told me that I have to shoot. I thought that I was -- I had to shoot the first penalty as well because I started good and I have some goals in this season but I saw Gabriel, he already took the ball. I didn't want to take it from him. So yeah, that's it.

Q. And then the first goal, can you replay how that sort of developed there? I think the ball came across from Gabriel there?

I mean, he did 95 percent of the job. So I had just easy, easy ball. All credits to him.

Q. You had a really impressive performance and output this season. How satisfying is that after a difficult couple of seasons?

It's very satisfied but I'm more happy because we won again at home, and I think finally we are going to win three games in a row. I think it's perfect time before the summer break, and then after that, we play also two games at home. So we have the three points. We have to continue like this. We know what is our goal, playoff, and chance to get -- to lift the trophy.

Q. Is that something you guys are thinking about? Winning three games in a row, is this a focus for you?

We would like to win four, five games in a row, but first we have to win three and then we'll see.

Q. Almost at the midway point of the season. Are you and the team where you guys want to be?

I think I don't know how other teams played this night, so I think we are in second place. So it's good but can be better. So yeah, in the playoffs, yeah, I would like to start first game at home.

So that means we have to be in top four teams but of course our top goal is to be first.

All the best. Good night.
