Pablo Mastroeni described the victory at FC Dallas last weekend as a catalyst for the remainder of the 2016 season. Time will tell.
However, the head coach knows that the rest of the campaign starts here. That incredible backs-to-the-wall victory by a patched-up team will count for little if Rapids fail to use it as a foundation. And the perfect opportunity arises on Saturday as his side return to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park after almost a month on the road (TICKETS).
MLS is renowned as one of the most unpredictable soccer leagues. For example, on paper, Rapids seemed certain to win at a New York City side damaged by injuries and suspensions back in July.
