After a long two weeks bereft of our Montreal Impact, the bleu-blanc-noir took to the field Wednesday night to face off versus fellow bottom dwellers Philadelphia Union. Despite sloppy passing and costly turnovers, the Impact managed to eke out a much needed 2-1 win and secure all three points at home.
The Impact kicked off the scoring via a beautiful header from Michael Salazar but shortly before retreating to the locker room, Chris Duvall set up the Union’s Jean Picault with a perfect pass to level the score at one. Once again, it was the instrumental Blerim Dzemaili who stepped up and saved the day for the Impact when he blasted a shot past Union keeper John McCarthy to give the Impact a 2-1 lead.
