A few highlights of the Montreal Impact's loss against FC Tampa Bay. Much like the quality of the stream, the play wasn't all that pretty and the game looked like it was going to be a 0-0 draw until the hosts intensified the pressure in the last five minutes of the game.

At the 85th minute, a shot from 35-yards by midfielder Takuya Yamada gave the home team all three points. It's hard to say (based on the low quality of the streams) but it looked like goalkeeper Bill Gaudette could have done better on the shot. A few moments before, the hosts had been awarded a penalty, but Tsuyoshi Yoshitake's shot missed the net.
Ali Gerba and Luke Kreamalmayer seemed to have created the better chances but weren't able to make it count. The defensive end worked relatively well for the most part of the games...
Let's be honest here: Montreal are coming in this league as strong favourites to win it all, which is just the perfect incentive that other teams need when they play the future MLS-ers.
It's up to the Impact to show that they are in another class, which wasn't the case last Saturday.
Next game @Carolina on Saturday April 16th.
As for the highlights, not a big fan of the video montage with music, but that's all we got for now...
