MONTREAL —Down a goal just over 20 minutes into their stiffest MLS test to
date, the Montreal Impact bounced right back to keep their recent hot streak
alive. Jim Leonhard Jersey . Lamar Neagle and
Patrice Bernier scored second-half goals and Montreal extended its winning
streak to four games Saturday night with a 3-1 victory over the league-leading
San Jose Earthquakes at Saputo Stadium. Neagle scored his second goal of the
season to put the Impact (11-13-3) ahead 2-1 in the 61st minute. Bernier, who
set up Neagles tally, got his team-leading seventh goal on a penalty kick 73
minutes in. Marco Di Vaio scored Montreals opener in the first half. “Were happy
with the way we are playing,” Di Vaio said. “Were playing with confidence,
creating space and playing well together. We played a big game.” Both teams
played most of the game with 10 aside, while San Jose ended with just nine men.
Earthquakes captain Chris Wondolowski scored his league-leading 18th goal on a
penalty kick 23 minutes in to give the Earthquakes a short-lived 1-0 lead. San
Jose remains first overall in Major League Soccer and atop the Western
Conference with a 14-6-5 record for 47 points. “Hats off to Montreal,”
Earthquakes coach Frank Yallop said. “Im not going to say we would have won the
game. I thought we were doing O.K. with 11 on 11, but they won the game so well
done to them. They took advantage—we had nine men after the penalty kick and
it was a tough one.” It was the first and only meeting between the two teams
this season, and both were down a man in the 21st minute. San Joses Steven
Lenhart and Impact defender Hassoun Camara were both shown red cards in the
first half after a flare-up inside the 18-yard box. The Earthquakes were awarded
a penalty after Camara struck Lenhart with a blow to the head, which got him
ejected. Lenhart was also sent off for retaliating. “I warned him (Friday) that
Lenhart is like that,” said Impact goalkeeper Troy Perkins. “Hes going to kick
you, hes going to punch you when no ones looking and youve got just got to be
able to take it and tell the referee, youve got to look out for it. “In all
fairness the referee gives them both a red card but unfortunately it was in our
own box.” Wondolowski made no mistake, pounding a shot past Perkins into the
left side of the net. Di Vaio drove to the net and slid in to finish off Felipe
Martins centering pass to draw the Impact even in the 25th minute. “Felipe and
Di Vaio connecting on that goal was magic, and I think thats exactly what we
needed,” said Jeb Brovsky, who played at centre back for the first time. “Five
minutes after that goal I think we could have easily gotten our heads down,
really packed it in and said, Lets go for this tie. ... I think you saw a team
full of belief in the second half and Im just proud of all the guys.” In the
second half, Bernier set up Montreals go-ahead goal with a pass back to Neagle,
who drove a shot past San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch into the right side of the
goal. “Thats a strikers dream, just sitting on the top of the box and the
keepers blocked so he cant really see it until its already in the air,” Neagle
said. The Earthquakes lost another player after Jason Hernandez was given San
Joses second red card of the game 71 minutes in. Bernier took the penalty after
Di Vaio was hauled down by Hernandez. The native of Brossard, Que., hesitated as
he approached the ball and calmly put a shot past Busch into the right side of
the goal. The Impact played to their second sold-out crowd in three games at
Saputo Stadium, where they have won five in a row. Impact defender Alessandro
Nesta did not play because of a knee injury. Montreals Nelson Rivas and San
Joses Alan Gordon each sat out because of suspensions. Pink Elvis Dumervil Jersey . 1 Rory McIlroy
