State Saputo. A fortress tucked into the eastern parts of the Island of Montreal, and the home of the Montreal Impact.
My story begins almost three years ago with thrilling 2-1 victory over Orlando City SC, a match in which Piatti’s skills were on full display. At that time I had little interest in soccer or the Impact. I was there to watch Orlando City SC star Kaka of whom I knew of. Until then, I had heard little about the Impact, or soccer in Montreal, being domiciled minutes from the border on the American side.
