Aug 20th features a match where New England Revolution will travel to Montreal to battle Montreal Impact in a meeting of these two Major League Soccer teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 28 degrees, hopefuly the heat doesn’t affect the players too much. 2nd placed Montreal Impact is fresh off their 3-2 win against Houston Dynamo. Sebastián Ferreira scored the first goal for Houston Dynamo in the 12th minute, then Romell Quioto tied it up for Montreal Impact in the 15th minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 69th minute on a goal by Lassi Lappalainen to cap off a wild match. Montreal Impact should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 6th placed New England Revolution, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against DC United. Gil de Pareja Vicent scored the first goal for New England Revolution in the 18th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, DC United was frustrated by New England Revolution’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. New England Revolution ended the match with the shutout victory. New England Revolution is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season New England Revolution won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
New England Revolution is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Gustavo Bou and F. Kessler each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Montreal Impact is fortunate enough to have Romell Quioto in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 5 goals.
