Maxi Moralez was one of the best against Philadelphia Union: "A very important match that was very well played. We showed we wanted the win from the first minute. Being up 2-0 at the half was important. Despite allowing a goal, in general we played very well across all of our lines".
The team came out with everything from the start, is that something we were looking to do? "Yes because these games are definitive and we have to come out that way. Sunday we'll have another battle. A more complicated rival because obviously they finished te season in the top spots. They are a team that plays very good soccer so it'll be a beautiful game for both of us. First we'll have to rest and recharge. We know it will be very difficult. We're finishing which is fundamental for any team. That way we don't suffer to the end. These games are like that so we hope to keep on this form. In one week we scored 6 goals but they've scored 2 on us. We've got to correct something, and hope not to do it on Sunday because we know it's a rival that doesn't concede anything to you so let's hope to keep on this track and score more goals".
On his goal: "It was a through pass from Anton. All I needed to do was chip it over the goalie. It was very close. It went in just under the crossbar. Luckily it was a goal and I was able to score. That's important personally for confidence, and it gave us the 3-0 which allowed us to breathe a bit".
