On what went wrong after a good start to the second half…. It really comes down to two set pieces at the end of the day. First set piece, goal. We get picked a little bit, but we’ve got to fight through it. Then on the second one, I haven't seen the replay, but I have a pretty good idea in my head, but I probably want to wait till I see the replay. It’s two set pieces. 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.
