The Montreal Impact had a busy week, hosting the Revs on Saturday May 5th, followed by a midweek away fixture in Chicago against the Fire and finally coming back home to play the Philadelphia Union on Saturday May 12th. It was an opportunity for the Impact to turn their season around, with two of the three games coming against opponents in the Eastern Conference who are struggling just as much as them.
To the surprise of a few, the Bleu Blanc Noir started this stretch by dominating arguably the stronger of the three teams.
