Small steps. That is the more considered reaction emerging from the Rapids camp this week, as they prepare to return home for the first time in a month.
Their surprise 1-0 at Houston Dynamo last weekend was their first success in 10 games, since dropping the Dynamo at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on July 1. It was also their first road win since October 2016, while they were the first team in 2017 to win at BBVA Compass Stadium.
But for that win to be viewed as more than a one-off, this Rapids team must pocket the euphoria, reset their focus, yet carry the momentum managed from that match into Saturday’s home contest with New York City FC (TICKETS).
