Head coach Phil Neville now has his sights set on the team’s next game against FC Cincinnati as he aims to ensure that his team can capitalize on its momentum.
“We now got the win, we now look forward to the game on Saturday, we now look forward to playing in front of our unbelievable supporters again. I said to them, four more games, four more wins, that’s all we can ask for.”
Morgan agreed with the sentiment, emphasizing that the players are hyper-focused on simply earning results and that his team does everything it can to achieve success.

Neville also complimented Federico Higuaín following the midfielder’s goal, highlighting his professionalism and excellent work rate that boosted the team.
“He’s got really good experience, his attitude is fantastic, he plays every game as if it’s his last…He tries to win every ball, he runs for every tackle, he runs for every knockdown, he wants to do a good thing for the team, he’s a real team player, and he’s got quality,” said Neville.
“He’s a joy to coach, he’s a joy to manage, he’s a joy to have around the place, he’s a tremendous example to everybody about what you should be [and] behave like as a professional footballer. He’s the type of person that you want around this fúbol Club.”
