Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes
On Sporting’s performance in the 3-1 loss…
I think we got tired. I think we were very, very sloppy with the ball, and I think that caused so many problems for us. I’d be interested to see how many times we strung eight passes together. We lost the ball regularly. You do that and you’re more than likely going to lose.
On what went wrong for Sporting in the second half…
The temperature was a little but warmer but it wasn’t terrible. I thought it was a good day to play the game.
