KANSAS CITY WIZARDS HEAD COACH CURT ONALFO
On the game
"It is disappointing when you are winning the game 1-0, and in the next play you have to walk away without the three points. We were really quiet in the locker room, it seemed like a loss to us."
On Kevin Hartman's performance
"Kevin has gotten better in the past three years. ... Kevin did a great job with communicating with our backline, and by blocking some critical shots."
KANSAS CITY WIZARDS MIDFIELDER DAVY ARNAUD
On the game
"When [Galaxy] went to 10 men, we needed to get after the game, and go get the winning goal, which we did. It was unfortunate that we let one in ... in the last couple of minutes, but we should've come away with the three points."
KANSAS CITY WIZARDS GOALKEEPER KEVIN HARTMAN
On playing a man up for 30 minutes
"When you have one more man, there is a rush that you hopefully can possess the ball a little more because obviously they are a man down. We need to continue to try to find ways to move the balls in the outside, and that's the best to break [a defense] down. And once we were up 1-nil, I think we needed to react better. We let the win get away and it's unfortunate."
