Two of the three goals came in added time — one in the first half and another in the second — with Thierry Henry notching both the home side’s tallies while Marco Di Vaio got one (and very nearly two) back for the visitors.

The Goonies were good enough this afternoon. The San Jose Earthquakes erased a two-goal deficit to draw the visiting Montreal Impact in a 2-2 match played in close to 30 C heat at Buck Shaw Stadium.

“I felt all day that we were going to have a good result,” said head coach Marco Schallibaum. “I also felt it yesterday in training and during my pregame speech tonight. The guys were pumped.

Asked if the change in formation was something that would be repeated in the future, coach Schallibaum, replied, “As a coach you have to be flexible and able to put something fresh into the game. Today it worked well with everyone playing well together. Paponi did well, for his first time, getting a goal."

The Impact is going to need its own version of the "Miracle In Montreal" if it's going to finally defeat Toronto FC in an Amway Canadian Championship series.

In fact, Bologna didn’t use the term “loan,” but “transfer on a provisional basis.” So, for De Santis and co., it’s a case of try before you buy.

“We worked throughout the week to prepare the team as a staff and today it was my job to be on the sideline to encourage the team and to manage the rhythm,” Biello said to open his postgame comments. “Obviously we would have loved to win the game but, unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Overall I think there were a lot of positives from that game.”

Completely dominated in the opening half, Montreal gave up the first goal only five minutes after play got underway.

The Montreal Impact confirmed Thursday that it has pulled its U21 team out of the embattled Canadian Soccer League.

Valentin has really seen his stock diminish over the past two-plus MLS seasons. In 2011, he was the No. 4 overall pick, and then went on to play in 25 games for Chivas USA. The Goats’ decision to not protect Valentin in the Expansion Draft came as a shock — and the Impact looked to have a steal of a deal when it selected the former Generation Adidas player.
