Montreal Impact went to 4th place in the Eastern Conference standings thanks to a record MLS victory over Vancouver Whitecaps. It’s the first time ever in the competition that the Impact has defeated the Whitecaps by a two-goal margin.
There was a first start in almost eleven months too for Lassi Lappalainen and how he punished Vancouver with his pace for last night’s second goal on 40 mins. Moving well after injury problems, the Finnish winger was unsuccessful in early one-to-ones with Veselinovic, but when he accelerated past the Serb onto Maciel’s delightfully flighted ball there was no way the defender was getting back.
