It was indescribable how it felt playing in such a big, beautiful stadium."

WHAT GOMEZ SAID

The Herons were knocked out of the CONCACAF Champions Cup in midweek by Monterrey. However, the win at Arrowhead Stadium has put them atop the Eastern Conference. They will now be in action when they take on Nashville on April 21.
