DBU HEAD COACH CHIP DUTCHIK ON THE WIN
"We went down a man. Instead of going defensive we decided to attack even more. We threw two guys up top, and played at a different speed in the second half than we did in the first. We went with the two forwards and decided to press a bit. I think they expected us to come and kind of set in and go for a tie but we wanted to go for the win on our home field."
