Revs Fall To Montreal

MONTREAL (AP) — Rookie forward Michael Salazar scored his first two MLS goals and Ignacio Piatti converted a penalty kick to give the Montreal Impact a 3-2 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday.

The 23-year-old Salazar made his first career start in place of Didier Drogba, out with a leg injury.

After the Impact (6-4-6) rallied from two goals down to even the score, Piatti scored the tiebreaker for his 10th of the season after he was tripped in the penalty area by New England goalie Brad Knighton in the 54th minute.

Kei Kamara scored twice to put New England (4-6-7), playing its third straight road game, up 2-0 in the 33rd minute.

Salazar got Montreal on the scoreboard in the 40th and then tied it in the 48th.

The Impact were also without midfielder Lucas Ontiveri (flu), fullback Donny Toia and midfielder Marco Donadel.
