“We talk about it before every game that it doesn’t matter who makes a mistake. When we make a mistake, we’ve got each other’s back.” MacMath recalled. “I’ve been in locker rooms where you hear that before but obviously, as you guys can see, we believe that. We feel it.”
It’s a mentality that head coach Pablo Mastroeni has instilled in a group that’s rallied from a multi-goal deficit for the second straight week, after defeating the Colorado Rapids, 5-3, in a Rocky Mountain Cup clash for the ages.
“It’s not a surprise to me that the guys, given the scoreline, stay in there and fight,” said Mastroeni. “It’s a testament to the group. Everyone that’s a part of this club has the same mindset, and I think when you’re aligned in that way magic like that happens. Obviously, we don’t want it to happen too often but I think it just shows the mental fortitude of the group.
“If a midfielder makes a mistake there’s a guy behind him in the backline to cover for him,” Mastroeni pointed out. “The way you cover for moments when keepers make mistakes is mentality in fighting back for him. Because that’s the only way as a group we can make that up, and tonight the guys did that for Zac.”
