It did not start well for the Montreal Impact after conceding a gag-reel goal after Evan Bush and Maxim Tissot gifted Giovanni Dos Santis an easy goal, early in the game. The first half was dominated by the LA Galaxy but the Impact was able to get the important equalizer after a great run by Dominic Oduro to feed Ignacio Piatti.
The second half saw the momentum shift towards the home team with Mauro Biello's team being more dangerous with counter attacks while staying defensively more compact.
