On the result…

It was valuable, especially since we started the game down 2-0, but we never stopped going for it, we never stopped trying to get the goal. It is true that we were not precise at times, but even when the team went down to ten men we kept fighting for it and I think we deserved the draw.

On the decision to put in Jacob Peterson…

We put in Jacob (Peterson) because we felt like we needed someone to open up the play, so not just someone who was good in the air, but better on the wing, so we put Jacob to have on the wing and also someone in the middle.
