A point won or two dropped?
A fair question as it would be to any team that leads with three-quarters of a game elapsed and concedes from two goalkeeping errors, but considering Chicago’s second-half ascendency and a crippling Montreal unavailability list, including Binks, Taider and top-scorer Quioto, the result was a fair one.
The Impact enjoyed a good first-half apart from the Diop blunder and another anxious moment when Camacho stretched to avert danger and saw the ball ricochet of his own upright. Perhaps Rudy’s luck is changing.
The comparatively longer rest had served them well, although levels dipped, again, at the beginning of the second-half, but they managed to rally well towards the game’s conclusion and may have nicked the points but for two decent Shuttleworth stops from Lappalainen attempts.
