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.
11. May 7, 2016: Columbus 4-4 Montreal – Impact comes from behind in character-forging draw
If you turned off the television at 4-1 – boy, did you miss something!
At three goals down in Columbus, the Bleu-blanc-noir is uncomfortable. But the team shows just how much character it has: two quick goals from Didier Drogba and Nacho Piatti set up Dominic Oduro’s stoppage-time equalizer.
An argument between Federico Higuaín and Kei Kamara was a lowlight of this game, which pushed Crew SC’s season further down the drain: Kamara was traded to the Revolution, and Columbus only won one of its next 13 games. Revenge is sweet.
Highlights
Stay tuned until December 24 for the rest of IMFC’s twelve days of Christmas!
