Game in numbers | Montreal vs New England Revolution

drogba in MLS
Saturday’s victory on the road against New England may be one of the biggest in the club’s MLS history, clinching a playoff berth with a gritty defensive performance against last season’s MLS Cup finalists.
In a league where results on the road are extremely hard to come by, the Impact has risen to the occasion, winning two straight in 1-0 shutouts.
In addition, the team has earned points in four of six matches away from Stade Saputo since Mauro Biello took over the coaching reigns, during a difficult stretch of games to close out the season, and for just the second time in club history, managed wins in two straight road games.
Here are some other fun facts following Saturday’s playoff clinching performance:
  • 3 – number of shutouts Evan Bush has registered this season versus the Revs, in three games (2-0-1).
  • 14 – record tying 14th win of the season.
  • 9 – single season record set for number of shutouts.
  • 4 – Tied club record for most wins on the road in one season.
  • 5 – Piatti’s 5th goal away from home has tied the club record for most road markers (Di Vaio 2013).
  • 20 – the number of points the Impact has picked up over its last 10 games, more than any other 10-game stretch in its MLS history.

The 21-year-old inspired PSV to the Eredivisie title last season but has struggled to adapt to the Premier League since joining Manchester United for €27.5 million during the summer. Netherlands boss Blind claimed last week that Depay "does not always function for the team" but still included the the forward in his squad for the upcoming friendlies with Wales and Germany. "When I spoke to Danny Blind [after linking up with Netherlands], it was a very good conversation," the Red Devils forward told  NOS . "I think I’m a team player and the other players in the team also think that. “I don’t think I’m in a difficult path of my career, as the media says...

Neymar Is Electric - Enrique

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique described four-goal hero Neymar as "electric" following a 5-2 win over Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. The Catalans reacted to conceding a Javi Guerra opener via the Brazilian, who won and scored two penalties before adding a quick-fire brace late in an entertaining affair that further strikes from Luis Suarez and Jozabed wrapped up. Having watched the treble winners experience some rocky form prior to the international break with losses at Celta Vigo and Sevilla, Enrique was grateful for Neymar's inspirational showing. "Neymar is electric," the Blaugrana boss told reporters after the match. "Defences must either foul him and give away a penalty or he will score goals. Since he has started the season has been great, and today he was decisive. "In a nutshell, he has been very impressive."
