Vargas finally ends Impact’s scoring drought as Montreal tops Dynamo 1-0
MONTREAL — When Jeisson Vargas found the back of the net, ending the Montreal Impact’s 425-minute scoreless drought, his teammates and coach breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Vargas scored Montreal’s first goal in five games as the Impact defeated the visiting Houston Dynamo 1-0 on Saturday to snap a four-game losing skid.
“I was so happy. I think I shouted with all my might,” said midfielder Samuel Piette, who assisted on the goal. “What a relief. We controlled play, put a lot of balls in the attacking third, and just weren’t able to score. So to finally score a goal and take a lead felt really good.”
Vargas’s goal, which came in the 44th minute, was worthy of breaking the franchise’s longest goalless streak in Major League Soccer.
