SPORTING DIRECTOR & HEAD COACH GREGG BERHALTER
On the match
“I think overall it was a positive match for us, a good performance. We had a game plan and I think by and large we executed the game plan.”
On Kamara scoring both goals
“He’s a very good player and he got some good chances and finished them. When we can get him in positions like that, we know he’s going to score. Overall we’re pleased with his performance. I think he showed a lot tonight.”
On the next match against New England:
“It is what it is. It’s our schedule and we have to deal with it. I think it’s obviously not the easiest, but it’s something we’re up for the challenge.”
STRIKER KEI KAMARA
On scoring twice
“It’s my job, it’s what I do, obviously it’s good to do it at the right time for the team and putting us in a good position. I still could’ve been better. I felt like we could’ve been a lot better today against Vancouver, they’re a good team, but you know getting two goals on the road should definitely give us three points.”
On playing against Waston and Kah
“[Laughs] Trees man. It’s great, it’s a competition and I enjoy it. We’re not a team that kicks the ball forward and kicks the ball so I can really jump with them showing height with them. Physically they are strong guys and they’re really smart and as a player you really want to test yourself against some of the good players in the league. Vancouver is first place for a reason they’re doing well defensively and offensively the collectiveness of the entire team is good and I really enjoyed playing against those two guys.”
MIDFIELDER BEN SPEAS
On getting a road result
“Game was back and forth. They’re dangerous, I thought we did well to hold on and get the result.”
On playing at BC Place
“It’s a nice stadium, I thought it was loud. We got another one in four days so yeah just getting used to the turf.”
On positives from the match
“Tough place to play, obviously the stadium, the fans, and then the team. I thought their team was very dangerous especially on the counter, they just like to go. We were able to hold them, they scored two goals but so did we. I think that was a good result and we’ll move from here.”
