Agoos proud despite MLS Cup loss

New York Red Bulls sporting director Jeff Agoos was proud of his side despite their defeat to the Columbus Crew in the MLS Cup.

“We’ve got a lot to be proud of,” Agoos said. “Nobody outside this locker room gave this group a chance to get here and compete for a Cup. They really raised the bar and we’re very proud of what they accomplished.

“I actually thought the first half was one of the best halves we played this year. I thought they stretched Columbus and Columbus managed it well, but they really put Columbus under a lot of pressure.”

He added: “It’s never easy. It’s never easy to lose, especially when you get this close. It’s very painful and it stays with you for a long time. Hopefully it gives the team motivation to get back here and win it next year.”
