The Impact had an inspired night in Vancouver, part of a crazy game in which they had total control after an hour, only to let game management slip, producing a nervy last 25 mins.
Leading 4-1 with the Caps reduced to 10 men, Montreal looked set to achieve both the night’s objectives comfortably: three good MLS points, which was not so much ever in doubt, and a result that would lead to them having to defeat Vancouver by any score, Wednesday, to move onto a second successive Canadian Championship final at the expense of great rivals Toronto FC.
