Montreal Impact will be hoping last weekend’s 4-0 trouncing of Eastern table-toppers proves a watershed in their season.
With Nacho Piatti healthy again and the addition of flying Finn, Lassi Lappalainen, all of a sudden they look like an offensive side carrying a very real threat. Opponents will be required to rethink strategy.
Instead of facing a sterile Impact, they must set-up to combat Piatti, the pivot, and pacy wide men in Lappalainen and Okwonkwo, another who contributed a memorable performance against the Union.
Colorado Rapids may be bottom of the pile in the Western Conference, but tomorrow evening’s challenge is likely to be more taxing in reality than it looks on paper.
