The Philadelphia Union and Montreal Impact are level after the first 45 minutes of play at Stade Saputo.
After a 23 minute rain delay, the teams finally got the match underway. A rare bad play by Laurent Ciman in the second minute opened up Fafa Picault in Montreal’s 18 yard box, but either his pass to an oncoming Ilsinho was too hot or his shot was too wide and the chance was wasted.
The Union and Impact were both rather sloppy early on, with men on both teams slipping and falling on the wet pitch. Errant passes and players not staying in position though are harder to excuse on the weather, with both teams guilty of those offenses as well.
