QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "That was probably our best performance so far. The players brought energy and a commitment to the game, which was solid. We strung together some nice passing sequences and created some quality chances. At times we were a little frenetic and needed to display more composure on the ball, but overall it was a great team effort, something we can build on for sure."
