On Stefan Frei's penalty save in the first half





Stefan Frei, Sounders FC Goalkeeper: "Stutter steps are there to try to get them an idea of where the goalkeeper is going, and as a goalkeeper you want to wait as much as you can to not give that away, so I tried to hold my ground as much as I could. Once I thought he was close to taking it I went as hard as I could to my left side and luckily he went the same way."





Djimi Traore, Sounders FC Defender: "A big credit to Stefan Frei for stopping the PK. He showed everyone he's one of the best goalkeepers. I'm very pleased for him because we've had a few PK's and that's the first one he has stopped."





Marco Pappa, Sounders FC Midfielder: "I think the save made by (Stefan) Frei gave us confidence to win the game."
