Impact Make it Four
Slide continues for the Lynx
from the Lynx


MONTREAL-Monday, July 31-Montreal Impact shutout the faltering Toronto Lynx 3-0 in A-League action at the Claude Robillard Stadium, here last night.

The loss was the third in four days for the Lynx while on a five-game away swing that so far has resulted in a 2-1 loss to Long Island Rough Riders on Thursday and a 1-0 squeaker in favour of Rochester Raging Rhinos the following night.

Toronto suffered a set back after just three minutes when midfielder Brian Ashton was ordered off  by referee Guy Verna following a goalmouth tangle with  Montreal's Ali Ngon. The referee also awarded a penalty to the Impact and Nick DeSantis scored his first of the season from the spot. With a man advantage, Montreal went on the offensive and went two up after 18 minutes when Mauro Biello scored his third of the season on a rebound after Lynx goalkeeper Theo Zagar saved from Darko Kolic. The score was 2-0 at half-time.

Lynx made several changes at half-time, including goalkeeper Carmine Isacco who took over from Zagar, but the move did not contain the Impact who went up 3-0 at the 55th. minute mark on a goal by Nevio Pizzolitto, his second of the season. Pizzolitto took a pass from Giuliano Oliviero to beat Isacco with a lob from the left wing.

This was the fourth straight win for the Impact which improves to 7-11-3, while Toronto worsens to 8-6-4. Rochester defeated Boston, 2-0  last night, to lift the Rhinos to 12-6-2 for 54 points at the top of the Northeast Division Long Island Rough Riders are second (44 points) and the Lynx third (38 pts.)
