Of the ten shots taken, only Chicago defender Lubos Kubik failed to find the target when his attempt sailed a foot over the cross bar. Alajuela advanced to the Cup final 5-4 on penalties. But we deserved to win. We won with intelligence and discipline. We domintated the front line.
Penalty kicks are cruel.
We don't practice them, but we made them because we maintained a high level of concentration. We're obviously extremely disappointed. Penalty kicks are part of the game, they handled them better than we did tonight. Alauela does a very good job in their organization on the field. They don't give you much space.
