BAYAMON, Puerto Rico - The Montreal Impact (7-10-5) started its two-game road trip with a 1-0 loss against the Puerto Rico Islanders (11-5-8), Saturday, at Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium, in Bayamon.
The Islanders took the lead at the 37th minute. Following a corner kick from Jonathan Steele, Cristian Arrieta deflected the ball with his head from inside the box, then defender John Krause, scored with a header to the right of goalkeeper Matt Jordan. This was Krause’s second goal against the Impact this season.
“We played a good game and we were superior on the field, but it’s the story of our season, we lose on very costly mistakes,” said Impact head coach Marc Dos Santos. “In a league where such parity prevails, we can find ourselves on one side or the other of the standings. Everything is based on detail. We did not deserve to lose tonight. We did everything we could to obtain the best result. Now we need to turn the page and go for points in Cleveland.”
“We did all the efforts possible tonight and due to one mistake, we lost the game,” mentioned midfielder Leonardo Di Lorenzo, who played the full 90 minutes of the game. “It’s a shame because we are truly improving but we are not seeing the results. In the first half we played better and on a dead ball they scored. We have to improve our play on dead ball situations and avoid making costly errors.”
