We go up 1-0 – we had made changes at halftime that we were planning on doing, which was good. The only one was Zo (Bassong), as precautionary. We made our changes, but I thought we brought a little life. I thought the guys, all of a sudden started to create some things in the game which was good. Then, unfortunately, a set piece, and then the penalty.
