Impact edge ‘Caps in wild all-Canadian tilt

MONTREAL, QC – Yordy Reyna scored early for Vancouver Whitecaps FC but a pair of penalty kick saves from Evan Bush and Maximiliano Urruti’s go-ahead goal turned the tide to give Montreal Impact a 2-1 victory at Stade Saputo on Wednesday evening.

Goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau delivered with eight saves in his much-anticipated homecoming, however it was his counterpart Bush who grabbed the headlines with his momentum-shifting stops in the first half just when Whitecaps FC looked primed to deal Montreal’s playoff hopes a costly blow.

This all-Canadian tilt was wild from the start, with the ‘Caps taking the lead in the 17th minute on a possession that started when Crépeau smothered a threatening ball across the middle.
