The Montreal Impact has proved to the rest of the league and itself that miracles can happen in the MLS playoffs knockout round. Winning 4-2 at RFK Stadium was a feat for a team that has had its share of drama, only a few weeks from the playoffs.
4 goals scored by the away team is not a coincidence though both goals by DC United, courtesy of Neagle and Kemp, could have hurt Montreal in a home-and-away series.
The Impact goals were scored by Laurent Ciman, Matteo Mancosu (2) and Ignacio Piatti.
