The last time the Impact went to Audi Field seeking points to consolidate a run for play-offs turned out to be a humbling experience.
Then as now the men from the US capital were enjoying a late season resurgence. But they also had Wayne Rooney.
Rooney, Acosta and Arriola destroyed the Impact that day in a 5-0 victory which could have been worse and was Montreal’s record MLS defeat at the time.
There’s no Rooney tomorrow of course, Acosta has long departed south but Arriola, after missing the season, is included for the first time after injury.
