A stuttering Montreal Impact will look to close the gap on New England Revolution on Wednesday in an MLS Eastern Conference matchup on Wednesday. Thierry Henry's side has registered just one win in the past seven games.
After pulling an upset over Columbus Crew last week, Impact fell 2-1 to Philadelphia Union on Sunday. Meanwhile, New England Revolution reduced the gap between them and New York City FC with a 2-1 win over the latter thanks to goals from Teal Bunbury and Lee Nguyen.
Montreal are currently eighth on the Eastern Conference standings and will be desperate to get back to winning ways. Thierry Henry expressed his frustration at the lack of goals and said after the game against Philadelphia Union that they did not deserve to lose.
“We had a one-on-one, an opportunity to come back into the game, and once again we don’t understand moments. Instead of burying the goal, some people think about trying to be pretty. You have to score there, it’s not about being pretty.”
“You have to be more aggressive in terms of finishing and not try to be pretty. But having said that, the team didn’t give up, they came back into it and again I’ll say it: I don’t think we deserve to lose today but we did.”
