Union manager Jim Curtin still hasn’t forgotten the sting he felt the last time the Montreal Impact visited Talen Energy Stadium.
At that point, the Union were still in the midst of the 15-game winless streak that stretched from the start of last September through the end of this April. There was no end in sight, but a game against an Impact squad that was in pretty bad shape itself had potential to be the tonic.
For the game’s first 40 minutes, it proved to be just that. The Union jumped out to a 3-0 lead, and seemed on course to snap out of their funk.
