Toronto FC assistant coach Chris Cummins was extremely happy with his team's defensive attitude following their mid week 1-0 victory over Chivas USA.

Speaking to reporters after the game Cummins said, "[The last 10 minutes] felt like 30 minutes for me. I thought they handled it very well. ... It's always nervy especially the way we conceded the goal last week, and we didn't want to do that this week.

"We're not going to go out there thinking we've cracked it and we're going to walk on with it. We've got to build on this," Cummins said.

"We'll be keeping the players' feet firmly on the ground. There were some real positives tonight and there are some things we need to look at that we need to be better on, but generally we're chuffed with the three points."
