If a win against Toronto FC – at their place, even better – is always good for the Montreal squad and support’s morale, the trip to Atlanta did not yield precious away points. Nonetheless, the Impact is now only three points away from sixth place and a playoff spot, held currently by the New York Red Bulls. The faith lives on, even though the latter have a game in hand on the Bleu-blanc-noir. Points are needed, starting this Wednesday against New York City FC, who would surely love to see its city rival miss out on the playoffs.
