Montreal Extends Lead on Penalty Kick Goal

MONTREAL – The Montreal Impact doubled its lead on Real Salt Lake with a penalty kick goal by Saphir Taider in the 68^th minute to take a 2-0 lead.

The opportunity was granted to Montreal after RSL’s Donny Toia was called for a foul after tripping up the Impact’s Bacary Sagna in the box after Sagna beat Joao Plata to a loose ball.

For Taider, Montreal’s leading goal-scorer, it was his fifth strike of the season as he got the better of RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando.
