Colorado Rapids 2, LA Galaxy 0

Q. Edwin, when you look at how you guys played tonight, was there an intensity missing from the game?

EDWIN CERRILLO: Yeah, especially in the first half. The first 20 minutes were okay. We had the delay, circumstances are the same for both teams. And when they started picking up the intensity is when we didn't quite match it.

You go down 2-0 in Colorado, chasing the game, it's always difficult. (Audio glitch) put the whole team in front so then it just becomes a lot more difficult for us.

Yeah, the intensity at the beginning wasn't matched and it cost us.

Q. When you look at the intensity and maybe some of the frustration you guys are feeling, no room for error in terms of dropping points throughout the rest of the season, is it starting to feel hopeless for you guys?

EDWIN CERRILLO: Hopeless, never. I think we're at a club that it's always going to push to be at the top. We're in a situation right now where we're chasing from the bottom, but never hopeless.

We have players that can make a difference and we just haven't clicked in the times and crucial moments in the game we need to. There is always going to be hope and we're always going to chase the next team in front of us. As each game goes by, each point is more and more crucial and we know that. We just need to step up.

Q. Greg said that playing in attitude in Colorado may not be the best place to play after almost two weeks off. Would you agree with that assessment as well?

EDWIN CERRILLO: Yeah, it's no secret. I think everybody knows here that it's difficult. The guys that played here last year know how difficult it is in the first half, and that's why it's important to stay in the game. Keep the game at zero at halftime or one up to give you the best chance.

But like I said, when you go down 2-0 chasing the game here, it's always difficult.

Q. I wanted to ask you, you picked up a yellow card. You have nine; you lead the league. This is a career high for you as well. Are you surprised by that? Your reaction to that? You've been suspended for two games because of yellow card accumulation. How have you dealt with that this year?

EDWIN CERRILLO: Disappointing. I get the feeling of disappointment because I have to watch the game and I can't do anything and I feel helpless. It's not something that I like. I think I let my team down getting yellow cards and getting suspended because we're at a point where we need everybody to step up and I need to be more mature.

Yeah, in the game I play with passion and I play with everything I got, so yeah, sometimes I put myself in situations to get yellow cards.
