Colorado Rapids head coach Chris Armas takes the pitch for the first half of an MLS soccer match against the Vancouver Whitecaps Wednesday, May 15, 2024, in Commerce City, Colo. Winger Omir Fernández went home to New York to see his family. Coach Chris Armas, when he wasn’t watching soccer, spent time with his dog.
“We are becoming the team we want to become. We make young mistakes, but we are a young team,” Armas said. “When I look at it, taking care of both boxes . We think we’re pretty stingy in many ways defensively.
“As much as it doesn’t seem like it in a game, it’s our first touch that can kill or create attacks and that’s one of the small things we’re harping on,” Fernández said. “Small details, at the end of the day, cost us or give us goals and if we get better each game, we’re going to concede less and score more.”
