Montreal Impact lean on stingy defence entering road matchup against Philadelphia Union Globe_Sports
Graham Hughes/The Canadian Press
The 34-year-old Argentine has missed Montreal’s past four games. The Impact have gone 1-1-2 in his absence, proving they can still earn points without him. They have not conceded a goal in their past three matches.“We’re very aware of the perception of this team, what we are to other teams in the league,” defender Dan Lovitz said before training on Friday.
Since 2016, Piatti has scored more than one third of Montreal’s total goals . He has three goals in three games this season. Newly added striker Maximiliano Urruti has yet to find the back of the net this season, though he leads his side with three assists. Piatti’s absence likely means Novillo and Orji Okwonkwo will start on Urruti’s wings.The struggles on offence come as Montreal is playing some of its best defensive soccer. Evan Bush is tied for second among goalkeepers with three clean sheets.
