WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT THE GAME

“What we learned that game was that we were winning 1-0. And we were playing very good. I felt that we’re pressing very good, disrupting their pressure. And suddenly, we just stopped doing that. And we start to let them just pass with freedom and not put intensity, not put the cues to press that we normally do. So we were OK, until the first goal. And after that, similar to Miami, maybe we stopped a little bit doing that. So that’s a reflection. That’s what we learned. But the initial tactics were very good. So let’s see if we can maintain that type of level and performance for more minutes.” -- Pineda on Atlanta United’s first game against Montreal
