Whether credit for the 1-0 win should go to midfielder Sanna Nyassi, or the 75-strong group of supporters who made Gillette Stadium sound like Saputo Stadium is a question of debate, but there is no doubt that the Impact stole one tonight as it won its second road game of the year.

One halftime change altered the course of the game. It sent Real Salt Lake off the rails, and gave the Vancouver Whitecaps a major advantage.

“Finally! I'm so happy! Now back with so much enthusiasm to my new adventure with my team the Montreal Impact! Thank you all for the support!” wrote Di Vaio on his official Twitter account Friday morning.

Thus ends the Jekyll-and-Hyde run of the Jamaican in the Impact goal. While, ovee the last few weeks, coach Jesse Marsch had reaffirmed his confidence in Ricketts, the keeper’s ability to confound you with a) eyepopping saves and b) infuriating mistakes, sometimes within minutes of each other, hadn’t gone unnoticed.

Seattle Sounders striker Eddie Johnson, who opened the scoring in a 4-0 rout of the Los Angeles Galaxy this past weekend, was named the MLS Player of the Week.

But, mistakes from keeper Milos Kocic, who took a knee to the head in the first half and was bleeding from both nostrils, and defender Logan Emory helped undo Toronto FC’s efforts for the evening.

Andrew Wenger, playing up top in place of Marco Di Vaio, presently in Italy facing questions in that country’s most recent game-fixing scandal, gave the Impact a one-goal lead moments before the interval.

The Vancouver Whitecaps announced Friday that the club has acquired Brazilian midfielder Tiago Ulisses. He will join the club pending the clearance of his visa.

Irish striker and Los Angeles Galaxy Designated Player Robbie Keane was named the MLS Player of the Month for July.
