On Sunday, the Impact played their final match of the regular season against the New England Revolution. The Impact needed a win combined with a DC United loss to move into 4th place in the eastern conference and secure home field advantage for the knock-out round. Sadly, the Impact were not able to capitalize on DC's loss. On the bright side, the Impact did not concede the thirteen goals that New England needed to score to make the playoffs.
Another positive note is that the Impact rested key players such as Ignacio Piatti, Matteo Mancosu and Hernan Bernadello.
