FC Dallas 3, LA Galaxy 1
Q. Diego, as a veteran player, what do you see as the diskette that's leading to the team not being able to be successful?
DIEGO FAGÚNDEZ: I don't know if I even have answers for that. Right now, I think we're coming in high and scoring first, and before half them scoring two goals is just not what we want. Of course they get a little bit of momentum going.
But I think just today, I think it was a game that we just needed to dominate. I thought we were creating a lot of chances. In the second half, I don't think they really created much, but we weren't good enough to finish our chances, either.
Q. What did you see in the buildup there of the goal? It's arguable as to whether Joseph gets taken down or not. What did you see in the buildup there?
DIEGO FAGÚNDEZ: To be honest I don't remember it completely, but from what I kind of remember, we thought it was a foul but referees and players don't call them. I just feel like we need to step a little bit more and not allow them to shoot that way.
But like I said, I need to re-watch it, and I can't -- I'm not going to just say something that I don't exactly remember. But I just think as a team we need to do better on stepping forward and not allowing people to take two, three steps and take shots from outside our box.
But that's soccer for you. That's kind of where we are this year, and it's just tough.
I think when you start so well, and you think you have the momentum going, and then you get punished, it's a hard pill to swallow.
Q. You have this team again next week. What have you taken from this one, or have you been able to take anything from this one that you can take into the home match against FC Dallas next week?
DIEGO FAGÚNDEZ: I think overall, I think we're a better team. I think at the end of the day, we need to show that. Like I said, I think we created enough chances. We just need to be better executing stuff.
If you rewatch the whole game, I think in the first half, we could probably finish a couple more, and second half, I think we dominated a little bit. We were creating a couple chances. But at the end of the day, it's the team that scores more goals is going to win the game.
So for us, we just need to do that, and now we turn it around and play them again and we need to make sure that we play aggressive. We're at home, and we need to win these last two home games just to leave the year with something positive.
