Under a scorching heat of more than 25 degrees Celsius in Montreal city, a very dynamic encounter were it looked like an absolute dominion from the local team against Sporting KC, which then turned into a 2-2 at the 90th minute.
Lucas Ontivero opens the score at minute 16′, but then closely followed by Dwyer’s goal at minute 21′ equalizing the match. Montreal icon Nacho Piatti gets a score by penalty at minute 39′ after a fault on Drogba… bringing the game at half-time with a 2-1 in favor for Montreal.
Thanks to the intense weather, the players from both clubs showed some tiredness as well shown in the 20 032 aficionados present in the Sherbrook street stadium.
It is very important to signal the successful return of the Argentinian, Nacho Piatti, but it is Dwyer who becomes the maximum executioner of impact when he scores for a second time at minute 59′.
Dom Dwyer scored 9 times against IMFC in his MLS history.
