The Impact turned the page on July and started August off on the right foot. The Impact has been struggling to play as a unit and playing to their caliber for the better part of July. Their last face off against Orlando was a controversial one, with a goal that looked out of bounds and a goal passed the added minutes. Montreal was in a dire need of a win or to the least, a convincing performance.
To the misfortune of the Impact, Orlando took an early lead. A long ball towards a dueling Larin and Donadel left the Italian midfielder in an awkward position.
