Kevin Doyle’s 80th-minute equalizer to spark the Colorado Rapids’ 2-1 comeback victory over Columbus Crew SC Saturday was only the Irish international’s third of the season.
Even so, Rapids coach Pablo Mastroeni says Doyle’s value must be measured beyond just scoring stats.
“I think Doyle does a lot of the work that goes unnoticed,” Mastroeni said. “It’s not easy to put in the shift he puts in every game and he does it selflessly. He makes runs in the box, he gets back and helps defend, he does all the little things that are the glue to this group.
