""I hope that people who watch us play feel that the boys have exceeded expectations," Varas said. "Because it's a team that fights every single second of the game. They're so brave to play. And to play under high levels of pressure and to keep going.""
""[Anders] Dreyer and [Hirving] Lozano are at their most dangerous when they play in behind, and they run," Neville said. "When they've [San Diego] been on the road, teams get lulled into probably getting sucked forward to then getting hit with spacing. "Those two have been a standout in the West this season in their of assists and goals scored, and that's something we're going to have to be really conscious of on Saturday.""
