Traditionally, the twelve days of Christmas begin at, well, Christmas, or the next day. But Impact Media, like a kid presented with an Advent calendar, has no patience.
We thus give you our countdown of the Impact’s top twelve on-field moments in this unforgettable 2016 season.
And a partridge in a pear tree, of course.
6. July 23, 2016: Montreal 5-1 Philadelphia – statement win
As smooth as it gets.
An ultimately meaningless 72nd-minute Chris Pontius goal aside, the Impact fully controls the proceedings here. A Didier Drogba hat trick, a thrilling Nacho Piatti performance (a goal and two assists), two assists from Ambroise Oyongo, a debut goal for Matteo Mancosu on a brilliant through ball by captain Patrice Bernier…
Simply glorious.

Stay tuned until December 24 for the rest of IMFC’s twelve days of Christmas!
