Sacramento Republic FC Head Coach and Technical Director Paul Buckle:
(On the overall match)
“It was an up and down and a game we didn’t seem to want to win. It should have been clear. I think we scored an unbelievable goal, and I had asked the players for a quick start and we got it and it was an incredible goal, great move from our right deep across through them and then Cameron [Iwasa]. He’s really looking to play now, Cameron Iwasa. I was a bit worried to say somebody’s name but he’s just got to believe now because that’s what he can do.”
(On coming back to win the match)
“We were loose from our second face, from a corner, we gave them space to come inside and finish and it was unlike us. We’ve been tight in those areas before and they were back in the game. We then went on again with a few chances. Cameron had a very good chance in the box with the post and we couldn’t put it in the back. It was that way all night. We got the lead and we’d throw it again but I have to say something about the character of the players and sometimes in the end you have to win, you have to find a way to win and we did. We seem to be able to kick once we concede. We must learn to manage games better. Control games, and be a little more clinical."
Sacramento Republic FC Forward Cameron Iwasa:
(On the win)
“It was huge for us. Unfortunately, we gave up the lead twice but we kept showing a lot of fight, a lot of resiliency to come back. After they equalized we get another one and then they equalize again, and we got that last one. Always feels good to win at home for sure.”
(On the team’s form right now)
“We’ve been on a very good run, we’re hot right now. We’ve shown a lot of confidence on the field, there’s a lot of confidence in the locker room. When we step out here. We believe we can win any gam, we expect to win every time. Recently we’ve shown that we’re definitely a tough team to beat.”
