Match Summary: In a hard fought, low-scoring affair that is becoming the norm in the A-League's tough Northeast Division, the Toronto Lynx came out on the losing end of a 1-0 result in Montreal today. After a first half that produced few offensive opportunities for either team and no goals, the second was a study in contrast, as the game opened up and showed flashes of offensive brilliance. Canadian international midfielder, Martin Nash scored the only goal of the game in the 51st minute bending a superb free kick around a 5-man Toronto wall and just under the crossbar behind Lynx 'keeper Theo Zagar. Despite controlling the flow of play for much of the second half and forcing Impact 'keeper Greg Sutton to make numerous big saves, the Lynx were unable to equalize. Sutton was brilliant at times, robbing Lynx striker Ali Ngon with dive to the right in the 57th minute and pushing the ball just wide on a close range strike from Ryan Lucas in the 74th minute. The win extended Montreal's unbeaten streak to seven games, tying a club record. The Lynx will look to break this streak as the teams renew acquaintances Sunday, June 8th at 4:00 pm at Centennial Park Stadium in Toronto when the Lynx celebrate Girl Power Day.
