How sweet it is the
thrill of victory and the agony of defeat to the visiting New Englanders after
leading for a good part of today’s match with their new man at the front- Kei
Kamara. As Saputo Stadium lived up one awesome afternoon of football from Le
Gars who came from behind with Rookie sensation Michael Salazar who dispatched
himself with another set of two beautifully scored goals.
Forget Didier Drogba,
as he was missing in action, but his presence not felt as the Impact had an ace
under their sleeve with their man of the match in Michael Salazar, that was
enough to give the Impact an important win over their conference rivals.
As both squads
sported 4-2-3-1 formations, the immediate presence of the Revs felt with a very
persistent Kei Kamara who had a formidable first half and driving the whole of
Montreal backfield into disarray. Suddenly the tables were turned and for the
local Gars of Montreal their response felt immediate with their rookie
sensation, who he did too respond to Kamara double.
Very well sealing the
deal and the win was like always the Impact man of the hour Argentinian Ignacio
Piatti who became the other hero of the match, by scoring the go ahead and
winning goal via penal, that gave his squad three points of gold.
A much-disputed match
were both squads showed off in all ninety-six minutes of play where these titans
did the best of their strategies and
game to try their best in netting the go ahead goals. So far, in this campaign
the Montreal squad is looking very solid and ambitious in trying to make a good
run towards the league postseason.
So far, the Impact situated
in third place after this win in the Eastern Conference and 24 points, the squad
of Mauro Biello is poised for much higher horizons and looking forward to
deliver more shields.
For now, the Montreal
squad is looking forward to make its moves to the top of their conference as
well by netting important wins and adding points to their cause, with just
three points behind the NYCFC. As the
league progresses and moves within its second half, it is when the Impact will
be in need of having a complete and a healthy initial eleven.
As in tonight match
the Montreal squad lacked, many of its starters in Laurent Ciman not return
from international duty in Euro with Belgium. For other players in Didier
Drogba sidelined with a foot injury, Donny Toia and Marco Donadel almost returning
from the DL and Luca Ontiveri with the flu.
When the Montréal
lineup is all complete and these players make their return, there is no doubt
this will be a squad to beat, still the way the game against the Revolution, in
how Manager Mauro Biello did an excellent job in his lineup that at the end
showed up positive results.
Still the buck does
not stop there for the Impact who will be on the road to play Real Salt Lake at
Rio Tinto Stadium and then at Rose City Portland to face the defending
champions Portland Timbers and returning home to face their conference leaders
NYCFC.
At the end, the
Montreal squad recorded an impacting and marvelous win over their conference
rivals the New England Revolution and this being a positive start for the City of
Mary squad in their upcoming matches.
