Impact frustrated by lack of attacking verve in loss to Timbers

Following a 2-1 loss to the Portland Timbers on Saturday, the Montreal Impact regretted the fact that they failed to threaten their opponents more than they did.

MONTREAL— What most concerned the Montreal Impact about their 2-1 loss to the Portland Timbers on Saturday was their mostly subdued approach. 

While both teams struggled to cope with the heat and humidity that was prevalent in the first half, and were forced to play at a slow pace as a result, as the temperature cooled in the second half Portland bagged two quick goals before the Impact responded with one of their own.
