With its second shutout win in two games against the Lions, the Impact has sprinkled a good dose of positivity on what was turning out to be a first half of the season that was difficult at times. Now 17 games in, exactly at the halfway point, the Bleu-blanc-noir are on an upward trend; they’ve won three of their last four games, including three shutouts, and sit just three points out of a playoff spot. With the recent turn of events, there’s everything to fight for in the second half of the season, and les montréalais will certainly be looking to prove that this recent run of play is no fluke. They’ll have a chance to do so when they host the Western conference’s top team, Sporting Kansas City, this Saturday, June 30, at 7pm (TICKETS – TVA Sports, TSN, 98,5fm, TSN Radio 690).
