What They Said
"I don't think from the beginning of the season, we've ever said that we don't have character in this group. We have that character in the locker room; we have a group of guys that are committed and together. When your goals and your ambitions are big, but results don't go your way, it starts to challenge everything, but (the response) comes down to the spirit and the belief in the group. We believe in the quality that we have in the room; we just need to put games together. This is the first time we've won two games in a row, and that alone is big to get off our back." -- Pacific FC head coach James Merriman'
"It's been a difficult year for them, so I'm coming in fresh, and I can't get frustrated. I've gotta just keep working to try and make them better as individuals and as a team. I thought we've shown good moments in all three games, with the performances over three games, we don't deserve only three points, but we've got to learn to take our chances and stop gifting goals. But that's a team effort, and I thought the guys put in a good effort today; it wasn't an effort problem. It was just about moments, because we just can't give up certain goals in those moments." -- Vancouver FC interim head coach Martin Nash

Alejandro Díaz, Pacific FC
Díaz stepped up big in his first game against Vancouver since departing the club last month, scoring both of his goals on his only two shots of the game, while also creating one chance, making two passes into the final third, and winning three out of his four duels in an effective and clinical showing up front for Pacific.
