When the obituary is written on the Union’s season in a few months, it’s entirely possible that the Montreal Impact will be cited as the cause of death.
It’s not just that the Impact went unbeaten in three games against the Union this year. It’s the manner of the results.
In April, the Union blew a 3-0 lead in a 3-3 tie at home that felt like a loss in every other way.
In mid-July, the Union lost 2-1, after having a 1-1 tie at halftime, and despite a 10-9 advantage in recorded shots.
