Tough one for Impact, but it’s far from over
The first occurrence of the VAR at Stade Saputo was not to the Impact’s advantage, the team seeing its centre-back Deian Boldor, who had a very positive debut until then, get sent off after video replay. Thus, the Bleu-blanc-noir has to forget and go back to work before another important game, this time at Gillette Stadium, in Foxborough, against the New England Revolution, on Saturday at 7:30pm (TVA Sports, 98,5fm, TSN Radio 690). Here is the playoff race big picture in the East, as the Impact still has eight games to play.
