“We were undefeated in our last six games. We never want to lose, but all credit to New York. It’s a good team,” said Montreal’s Joel waterman. 

“I’m proud of the way we fought. I thought our possession was good. In some way we were a little bit naive on the ball. It’s a shame that we gave away that goal and that it was the decider.”
