CHICAGO FIRE 1, HOUSTON DYNAMO 0
HOUSTON DYNAMO HEAD COACH DOMINIC KINNEAR
On the high temperatures:
"A day like this where bodies are fatigued, there's that one little extra piece of effort that'll put you on top."
HOUSTON DYNAMO DEFENDER EDDIE ROBINSON
On falling to the Chicago Fire:
"We're bummed out when we have a game like this, but we are not upset with our effort."
CHICAGO FIRE HEAD COACH DAVE SARACHAN
On winning at Houston:
"It was a credit to our group and our mentality. Our club came in here, did a great job, and that is going to be key as we move along in the marathon that is the regular season."
On Houston changing from a 4-4-2 to a 3-5-2 at the end of the game:
"That's natural; we'll always expect that (sort of change). When the home team is behind, they are going to be more attack oriented, so we had to make some adjustments. We had to withstand the fury a little bit, and I think our guys did a good job."
On winning 1-0 on a very tight game:
"At the end of the day, in these games, it's just one play that makes the difference."
