Impact look for better defence as they start three-game road trip in New York
MONTREAL — Goalkeeper Evan Bush wants Montreal’s late-game collapse in its home opener to be a learning experience for the rest of the season.
Montreal squandered a two-goal lead last weekend versus Seattle at Olympic Stadium. The Sounders scored from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute and then found the equalizer in stoppage time as the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Bush says it’s crucial the Impact learn from their defensive breakdown, especially as the team begins a three-game road trip Saturday afternoon against New York City FC. After New York, Montreal plays away games in Chicago and then Los Angeles.
“It’s all growing pains at the start of the season,” said Bush. “Just things you need to work out. Any time something happens like it did Saturday, you learn from it.
