Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes
Thoughts on the match...
It's a humongous result. It's huge to come here -- not an easy trip by any means with the travel and everything else -- and put in an unbelievable tactical performance. I thought we were flawless in that regard. And then another clean sheet puts in a good position to now try to bring both these teams home. We're in a very good place.
On Soony Saad...
He was good, he put himself in good positions. You have to give a lot of credit to Dom on the PK though. He did a great job of getting around those guys and finding a way to keep the ball and just bulled his way through to get us the penalty which is big time. And then Soony finished it off. But I can't say enough about the performance of the whole team. It was fantastic.
On the weather...
It actually made the field the way we like it, quick and fast. It was good.

On his game-winning goal...
I was just running with the line, we work on that a lot. A great ball in by Zusi and I took a first touch and finished it. It was perfect. It was good to get an early goal, too.
On starting both CCL matches...
It's a great experience for me as a young player. I think I'm growing and becoming more in tune to my position and what the team needs. What's really good about it is we keep winning and we're playing well as a team.
On the confidence shown in him by Peter Vermes...
It says that he trusts me and really believes in me. I'm thankful for that and I want to keep proving to him and the team and the organization that I'm ready and I'm capable to do the job.
