SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH MATIAS ALMEYDA
On facing a tough Minnesota United team on the road:
"I don't think it's a lack of creativity, we had 15 shots and we couldn't finish. And then their goals were great plays from them and errors on our part, but, in my opinion, I liked the team we put out - I'm liking this team a lot. At the start of the season we were the team everyone wanted to play, now no one wants to play against us. We're growing."
On whether he thought it was a tough match:
"I was expecting a tough match.
