Post-match comments from interim head coach Marco Donadel, Samuel Piette and Dante Sealy are available HERE.

MARCO DONADEL

"I'm happy about the performance. We have the desire to show something, playing with the ball, trying to dominate others with our qualities. We have difficulty scoring despite many crosses and chances. We're missing the final pass, the last shot and a bit of luck. It's better to have a team that believes in what we're doing. That's the positive aspect. Over the last four weeks, we've been building something new and we're in a good place. We just need to start focusing on the details."

SAMUEL PIETTE

"It's frustrating, but we're doing so many good things that the message in the locker room is that sooner or later it will pay off. We're working well in training, the game plans are clear, and we're dominating teams. Defensively, we're more solid than ever. We have a very strong team with top-quality players. I think we've played another great game, but leaving points on the table is frustrating. My message to the players was to stick together. We're doing so many good things that now's not the time to point fingers. We need to work together because sooner or later things will turn around. All it takes is one win for us to gain momentum."

DANTE SEALY

"We're creating a lot of chances, but I feel like we're not having as much luck as other teams. For example, with the little bounces in the box or second chance opportunities. I feel like that will come; we just need to continue working hard. We dominated most of the game, and I think scoring will come. We just need to stay patient and keep working."
