Previous: 19th. Montreal Impact. 23. team. 371. Remi Garde needs to change his ways or be sent on his way. Trying the same tactics yet again, the Impact failed to score on a Union team that had not won on the road all year, plus some. Even with a man advantage, defenders were being turned and split with simple passes. This led to Lovitz being shown a red card minutes after the Union’s Burke was sent off. Montreal has already wasted a Piatti hat trick, a home game against a weakened a rotated Union team, and a man advantage this season.. 3-8
20. team. 374. The Union had not scored in the past few games but found a way to earn their first road win of the season. Burke scored and got a red card but looked more threatening that the injured Sapong did in the midweek game versus the Crew. Bedoya and Picault controlled midfield against the woeful Impact but Designated Player Dockal still looks a step behind the rest of the team.. 3-5-2. Previous: 22nd. Philadelphia Union
Colorado Rapids. 18. team. 368. A slow start had the Rapids down a goal in 5 minutes. A VAR decision doubled that deficit. Gashi had a late shot saved, but McBean bundled home his first goal on the rebound. It was too little too late, which is becoming the story of the Rapids season. Too little of their high paid players are seeing the field, those that do are not producing much, and any changes by this team will probably be too late to vie for a playoff spot.. 2-5-2.
