Head Coach Oscar Pareja:
“The feeling is that we could have, or we should have, gotten the three points here in Charlotte. We paid the price for our distractions on those two goals, and there was much more on our responsibilities on a couple of duties there that we had to control. Then, we needed to push in many different ways to find that equalizer and try to get the winning goal, but it was not enough. I thought we accomplished the fact that we tied the game in a very difficult scenario for us losing 2-0 away. Credit to the players that never gave up on that intention. We take this point, there are some things that we still we should have done better, but it will tell us in the next two games at home if we get those results that this point will be valuable.”
