Following the defeat, head coach Wilfried Nancy revealed his side was not quite their usual selves due to a sickness within the squad over the last two days.

However, he did not take anything away from Pachuca’s performance.

“My players gave everything, knowing that they were sick also. All the team had diarrhea since yesterday; the staff also,” said Nancy.

“Don’t get me wrong. This is a fact. I’m not here to tell you [Pachuca] don’t deserve to win.

“They scored three goals; OK. But my players gave everything.”

The Crew return to MLS action on June 14 with a trip to New York City FC.
