Montreal Impact form and stats
Playing away, Montreal Impact have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Major League Soccer this season.
Montreal Impact had fun at their own home (Red Bull Arena) last time out, beating Cincinnati 5-4. Ahmed Hamdi (2), Mason Toye (2) and Joaquín Torres scored. The attacker Joaquín Torres got a match rating of 9.02 in that game. Torres scored one goal, hit the woodwork two (!) times, served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 4 of 4 times and had 22 successful passes (of 25 total). What a finish in the last match, as Montreal came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Ahmed Hamdi's goal in the 87th minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Cincinnati was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 9 goals, will the fun continue today? The 5-4 victory against Cincinnati could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager W. Nancy when Ahmed Hamdi scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 57th minute.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus New York City.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Montreal manager W. Nancy as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against New England.
Montreal Impact have scored 6 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. Montreal have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
