MONTREAL — CF Montreal wants to avoid a little déjà vu on Saturday.
As the Major League Soccer playoff race heats up, Montreal is riding a three-game unbeaten run and is favoured to win when the last-place San Jose Earthquakes visit Saputo Stadium.
“Being able to bounce back like the guys did after the setbacks we've faced is very strong,” Courtois said."Sometimes we do surprising and disappointing things, even though it's all within our reach, and sometimes they really impress me with their resilience, quality and competitive spirit.Tom Pearce, an English left back who joined Montreal from Wigan Athletic in July, said team discussions after those losses sparked the turnaround.
San Jose is by far the bottom team in the league with 18 points, 10 below second-worst New England. The Earthquakes enter Saturday’s match without a victory in their last four outings “Coming to an end of a season and having a playoff push, I guess being in a streak now is crucial,” midfielder Bryce Duke said."It gives us momentum going into those last four games that we have, and then, in the end, get into playoffs.”
