After a two game road trip that saw the Montreal Impact tie Toronto FC as well as the Rochester Rhinos, the team was back in Montreal to present the Voyageur cup to the sold out, appreciative fans that attended the second game in a home and away series against the Rhinos.
While the setting was right to celebrate the impact's advancing in the CONCACAF Champions League, the players knew that they also had other business at hand, namely advancing in the USL standings .
"I think that Sunday’s game will be different from Friday’s game because we will play in Montreal,” said defender Simon Gatti. “I think that we have to play even more offensively in order to get points in the standings. On the road, a tie game is not a bad result but at home, we want the win by giving as well a good match to our fans.”
“We are expecting to win at home,” said midfielder David Testo. “We were a little bit disappointed with the result Friday with only one point on the road. It should be another hard game but we are hoping a better outcome at home by scoring on our chances.
They said all the right things and surely meant them, but you can't underestimate the power of confidence and momentum and the Rochester Rhinos had both.
