Before their Saturday meeting, Montreal had not beaten Philadelphia on their own floor. With less than 22 minutes remaining in the match, history was doomed to repeat itself. But this was before Montreal fought for their dignity and played as a unit. Let’s start at the beginning.
Five minutes had gone by and Philadelphia had already opened the score. Montreal was playing sloppy on both offense and defense. Patrick Leduc, Impact’s commentator, was pessimistic. It wasn’t just a false start, however, as the Union scored 2 straight goals. And just like that they were down 3-0 against the team with the worst record in the league.
