Our sovereign bank man of the match joins us not to the revolution locker room lying guy Ryan. I'd talk about the conditions and and the battle you guys have to do over ninety minutes plus. You know it's difficult to talk about because both teams had to deal with with the heat. But it's true it's very hot today. Fortunately coming in gets two great atmosphere. You tend to forget about it is -- equal on the pitch. But he certainly -- -- Probably you know. Ryan tell us about that second shot you had that diving header I think it's and it's right on line how well his is great ball from me. In this this week who worked with the pieces in. Now is ready for it and I lined it up and it doesn't as the difficult ones you know I thought it was in the fourth and -- Unfortunately in college and that's the -- As is very close Ryan replays for more angles -- conclusive but in any case it doesn't matter because that's the periphery. And they -- decision it's final. You have to be adaptable in the flow of the match am I correct in saying you play three different positions in the course of this game it's true I did I did in.

Special -- -- has the experience of playing overseas playing in Ireland playing here. He's utility guy Jays use them all over the place like is that within three spots within one game it is like a -- he's good -- you know a lot Jack of all trades. And he's dominant some positions and it's a good guy to have. From me like he -- from position one of fourteen to deal you lies in games like this. Part that coach joins us now from outside the locker room -- At a different level sharpness and against Montreal absolutely that we're. We're just point in the game in Montreal and and I it's always about not getting back to basics and -- -- and trying to to make it difficult against them. And we had a game plan that was was was designed to get 00 at halftime and then try to take the game and thought we traded a couple chances in certainly -- there really awesome tacky team so we had defending me to defend well. To you set up play you know with with five -- -- trying to overlook that midfield what you think you said you did a great job defensively it's got to be good. You want three point but the walk went to shut out in a point it's pretty good. Yeah and and you know hopefully. You know this is a good step for us -- it. Fortunately we've we've gone against thinking that we can just passes through everybody in the game what time we got back to the basics it was. It was a good hard fought match for us than. -- -- these the kind of games where you can use as a stepping stones and what that's they defend. Now we match that was the way we play we play well. We're going to be it's hard today good result safe travels on thanks for the obvious was it that you guys on you know ask the question right I was actually going to be a -- if Mac can play it out and what was his. How come that's good to know why or fewer -- -- the other day Tuesday that I -- not going -- -- a very thanks coach all right. You can. Feel. I want a sense of relief but it -- sense of accomplishment for both guy and heaps and those interviews are proud of the result even though wasn't entirely satisfied. -- that he gets good word pride is there there. You know do they want it -- what the three points but -- -- like it that -- they earned it. It definitely on that point they're OK with that like. One of the top teams in the league period that come okay you know what that could shut out a good point and walk into next week. In Philly and. Try to go for three there and they showed the team character that reflects that kind of mentality change once and he showed that they really were attacking from the -- the first half as we look at the highlights the reds are trying to make nine financiers -- they had some chances in the first half. And early on it was -- guy with a terrific. Breakthrough and -- It was by the keeper Jimmy Nielsen. Great ready for the great ball through -- of them haven't but you know ahead from twenty yards out does well. And he turned back around his diving header right in the goal and just a great job -- that back full. The great diving header by him with a power. We'll never know there's all the way over the line or not the reds have more good attacking play -- wrote rookie. Cutting it back to Nielsen was there to knock it down Sean Jones very -- It was he was in the back in the midfield up front. Again that's his game gets involved he's a big body in the middle could present quite showering. -- game the first out but Jacob Peterson. Nearly nearly got there afraid that it during the game you can't let those balls drop especially. You know 1940 yards out front of the home. Move into the second half. They -- here by now. By Jacob Peterson. Because the -- Here's another great job this win today and have a match right there did a great job did very little. Army does a job in the captain Joseph completes it but -- are really -- out there on the right.

Good -- just gets in the box here he's got a team -- But tomorrow it's not down by three. The right place at the right times and didn't do much in this game could -- -- -- He did you just put a great curling ball John is right there to kind of break up the place where the mark doesn't get -- perfect -- on it but Matt's right if you don't. -- moment for the reds and the reason we may look at this type tomorrow. Leading with the elbow there after a long delay and I was up patched up -- was able to finish out the last couple minutes of the game. It's -- soldiering on. And the game ended in 00.
