Piatti powers Impact past Fire 3-0; Montreal closes in on playoff spot
MONTREAL — If Ignacio Piatti is playing his final games in a Montreal Impact uniform, he’s definitely going out in style.
Piatti scored twice as the Impact cruised past the visiting Chicago Fire 3-0 on Wednesday for their first three-game winning streak of the Major League Soccer season.
Speaking to the crowd from the pitch after being named man of the match shortly after the final whistle, Piatti said he might be playing his “last 10 games” with the club. The Argentine’s contract expires at the end of the year.
“I want to continue playing but I don’t decide these kind of things,” clarified Piatti in the dressing room after the match. “It’s up to the team, up to the president (Joey Saputo). This may be my last 10 games here, my last season. I definitely want to reach the playoffs to end on a good note.
