Matteo Mancosu scores twice, Impact beat D.C. United 4-2 in MLS playoffs
WASHINGTON — The Montreal Impact wasted little time setting the tone against D.C. United when defender Laurent Ciman provided the lead just four minutes into the game.
From there, Montreal’s midfield took over and its top playmakers had one of their most dominant performances of the season.
Matteo Mancosu added a pair of goals and the Impact completely dominated D.C. United for a 4-2 victory in the knockout round of the MLS Cup playoffs Thursday night.
Ignacio Piatti also scored for Montreal, which hosts the New York Red Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday. The Red Bulls won the regular season series 2-1 with both victories coming at home.
