Impact find scoring touch in time to match Toronto FC’s torrid attack
MONTREAL — The Montreal Impact have found their scoring touch just at the right time of year.
They’ll probably need it when they go into the second leg of the two-game MLS Eastern Conference final against a Toronto FC team that has been even better at filling the net in the playoffs.
Despite Ivorian legend Didier Drogba being used off the bench, the Impact have scored 10 goals — an average of 2.5 per game — while winning all four games they’ve played in the post-season. Toronto has 12 goals in four matches, or three per game.
