After the match, Mihailovic spoke of his desire to win the title and believes that they have the quality to achieve that.

“I remember my first interview with you guys and I said I wanted an MLS Cup and I think that we can do that. We have the quality, we have the most wins in the East and we showed we’re a top team in the league. Winning the MLS Cup should be the goal of everyone on this team and it’s a reachable goal.”
