Impact eager to get back on the pitch to erase 7-1 ‘nightmare’ loss to KC
MONTREAL — The Montreal Impact are aching to get back on the pitch following their worst defeat in franchise history — a game head coach Remi Garde called a “nightmare.”
The Impact face New York City FC on the road on Saturday afternoon exactly one week after suffering a 7-1 thrashing against Sporting Kansas City, their most lopsided loss since joining Major league Soccer in 2012.
It will be Montreal’s fifth consecutive road game to start the season.
“We’re all so eager to erase last week’s nightmare,” said Garde before practice on Thursday. “We’ll have to be tactically better than last game and mentally much stronger.”
