The Rojiblancos were lifted to victory behind goals from Alejandro Moreno and Juan Pablo Angel. Montreal midfielder Felipe Martins scored the Impact's lone goal.

- The Rojiblancos took the one goal advantage off a Cesar Romero corner kick in the 14th minute.

Both Agudelo and Romero were credited with their first assists on the season and the goal was Moreno's second.

- Montreal found the equalizing goal just before the half in the 42nd minute when Impact forward Davy Arnaud moved the ball up the right sideline and centered the ball to the cutting Felipe Martins.

- Red and White Head Coach Robin Fraser struck gold in the 77th and 78th minute when he sent Angel and midfielder Jorge Villafaña on to the pitch as subs. Villafaña worked the ball deep into the left corner and centered the ball for the awaiting Angel, who headed the delivery into the back of the net for his third goal on the season and the eventual game-winner.

- The match marked the first ever meeting between Chivas USA and Montreal, as the team from north of the border is in its first season as an expansion team in the MLS.
