For the first time in what seems like forever, I am sitting down to write an article about an Impact win. Not a loss, not a draw: a win! Complete with all three points!
The Impact welcomed expansion side Atlanta United to Montreal for the inaugural match of the season at Saputo Stadium. It was a magnificent day for soccer in Montreal and the Impact treated the 17 144 fans in attendance to quite a show.
Even though Atlanta were the first to get on the scoreboard, the Impact dominated the opening half. A mix of bad luck, poor finishing and questionable refereeing were the only things that prevented IMFC from taking an early lead.
