MLS Review: Montreal notch first win, Barrett inspires Sounders

Montreal Impact claimed their first win of the 2015 MLS season thanks to a brace from Andres Romero.

Montreal Impact returned to the winners' list in emphatic fashion on Saturday and Seattle Sounders defeated Vancouver Whitecaps in a top-of-the-table clash in the Western Conference.

An early surge from the Impact set up their 4-1 triumph over Real Salt Lake in Montreal, ending a 10-game winless run in MLS, while on the other side of Canada, Chad Barrett struck twice in the first half to hand Seattle a 2-0 win in the Cascadia Cup clash in Vancouver.

The Sounders' victory saw them move within a point of the Whitecaps' 20 in the West's standings, with FC Dallas, at 21 points, ahead of both clubs at the top.
