Montréal, Québec (Saturday Aug. 19, 2017) – Real Salt Lake (8-13-5, 29 pts) fell 3-1 at the hands of the Montréal Impact at Stade Saputo on Saturday, ending its six-game unbeaten run behind two goals from Ignacio Piatti.
A sudden injury to RSL DF Marcelo Silva forced Head Coach Mike Petke into an early change, shifting roles of the RSL back-line.
The home side took advantage of the injury to Silva when they jumped out to an early lead just 11 minutes in through Ignacio Piatti, his first of two in the half, when he touched a chance past GK Nick Rimando.
