After being humiliated on the road by the New York City Red Bulls, the Impact were looking forward to an easy match at home versus the bottom dwelling Chicago Fire. Before Saturday's game, the Fire had only recorded 22 goals in 22 games and only 8 of those were away goals. The Fire had also not recorded a single victory on the road in over 2 years. Their last road win was in July of 2014. So, the Montreal Impact had many reasons to be optimistic about their match versus the Fire.
Despite everything seemingly in their favour, Montreal found a way to absolutely blow it!
