Forgets to defend in big loss Abubakar took two shots (none on target) and intercepted three times in the 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake on Saturday.

This match can be considered more of an outlier since he is one of the better defenders for the Rapids, however, if he does not gain form quickly, he will see the bench more often than not.
