After a mixed first-half performance caused the Bleu-blanc-noir to trail Columbus Crew SC by two goals at the break this past Saturday evening at Stade Saputo, a buoyant show allowed the team to come back in the game, thanks to goals by Piatti and Jackson. But the tendency we have seen across MLS this year struck once again, and the result was decided in injury time: Justin Meram completed his hat trick to inflict a home loss to the Impact.
