Four unanswered goals from the Montreal Impact erased an early lead for the Philadelphia Union in a 4-1 loss on a humid Saturday night in Chester that tightened the playoff race in the Eastern Conference.
“A bad night all around. A lot of things we did real positive over the past six matches we did not do tonight,” Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin said after the match. “We gave a quality team too much time, too much space and they punished us for it.”
The Impact nearly opened the scoring in the sixth minute when defender Bacary Sagna found the dangerous Ignacio Piatti inside the box, but Piatti skied the one-timer deep into The River End.
