MONTREAL -- It wasnt pretty or convincing, but it was a win and the Montreal Impact will take it. Felipe Martins scored in the 15th minute and the Impact held on for a 1-0 victory over the Philadelphia Union on a rainy Saturday afternoon for their first win of the Major League Soccer season. It was the Impacts (1-4-3) first victory in 10 league games since a 2-1 triumph over Philadelphia on Oct. 19 last season and their first clean sheet since a 5-0 thumping of Houston last Aug. 24. "We did a great job of fighting for every ball," said Felipe, who got his team-leading second goal of the season. "But the most important thing was the three points. "We waited for this a long time and its very nice to be back with a win." The Union (1-3-5) are winless in their last seven games and havent scored in their last two. It was Montreals first home game on the grass field at Saputo Stadium -- after playing three times indoors at Olympic Stadium -- but the stands were only half full in chilly, wet weather, although attendance was listed at 19,075. Felipe scored when Patrice Bernier stole the ball from Sheanon Williams and took a long shot that Zac MacMath blocked, only to fall to the Brazilian who banged in the rebound. The Impact and goalkeeper Troy Perkins spent the next 75 minutes holding off the Union, who outshot them 17-7 and wasted some glittering chances. "We have to grow and improve because we didnt play a good game for 90 minutes," said centreback Matteo Ferrari. "Some parts were good. "But it was very important to get the three points. For us, it wasnt a moment to play well but it was a moment to get points." It was the first meeting between the teams since the Impact sent Andrew Wenger to the Union for Jack McInerney in a swap of strikers three weeks ago. Wenger was dangerous all afternoon, taking four shots, including two on goal. He missed the net by a long margin in the 22nd minute, but five minutes later forced Perkins to stretch out a hand to save a shot from the edge of the penalty area. "The whole teams been dangerous lately but we havent been able to put the ball in the back of the net," said Wenger, who has one goal in four games since the trade. "Thats whats frustrating. "We knew they were dangerous on counterattack, like they were today, but we had the better of the play going forward. We couldnt translate that into goals and thats something me and some other guys have to figure out." McInerney had a glittering chance in the 54th, but MacMath dove to get a hand on the shot. The striker known as Jack Mac said it was fun to play his former teammates. "Whenever Id walk by someone there would always be a little comment made, but at the end, it was business," he said. "Every tackle had a little something extra in it." It was also a first Impact win for former Chicago Fire coach Frank Klopas, who replaced the fired Marco Schallibaum in December. There had been grumbling among fans and the media that Klopas and sporting director Nick De Santis should be let go if the teams record winless run to start a season continued, although De Santis met with the media during the week to give his third coach in as many MLS seasons a vote of confidence. The discontent showed when their staunchest supporters who cluster behind the west goal held up banners that read: "3 years, 3 coaches, 1 De Santis." "It felt really good," Klopas said of the win. "Some games are not going to be pretty soccer and you have to find ways to compete. "It gives us confidence. You can do things in training, but its important to get results. You have more enthusiasm." The Impact would probably wish to play again as soon as possible, but they are entering a bye week and dont play again until May 7 when they face either Ottawa or Edmonton in a Voyageurs Cup semifinal. Their next league game is at home May 10 against Kansas City. The Impact are 4-1-2 against Philadelphia in two-plus seasons in MLS, including 4-0-0 in Montreal. Fullback Hassoun Camara was shown the yellow card for clotheslining Fabinho in the 37th minute. It was his fifth caution of the season and he will be suspended for Montreals next MLS game. The Union play next week at Seattle. Notes: Fullbacks Camara and Jeb Brovsky were back in the starting 11 for Montreal as Eric Miller and Maxim Tissot saw action as substitutes. Calum Mallace, who started last week, was back on the bench as McInerney started. . . Conor Casey and Crisitian Maidana were on the bench for Philadelphia while Fabinho started.

Erik McCoy Jersey . -- Syracuse was dangerously close to letting another less talented opponent pull off the upset when C.6) I grant you, Juan Francisco homered against Texas on Sunday, but he also committed two errors at third base while Brett Lawrie committed one at second base. I promise I wont hammer away at this every week, but shouldnt Lawrie be the Blue Jays everyday third baseman? (Ill revisit this next week).7) Would the Los Angeles Kings players laugh at coach Darryl Sutter if he told them that game two against Chicago was a "must win" game?8) Mike Weir lost by two strokes at the Byron Nelson and missed two four-foot putts on consecutive holes during Saturdays third round. Its not as simple as saying that Weir should have been in a playoff with Brendon Todd, but can we not agree that we could have made those putts?9) Tony LaRussa is in charge of the Arizona Diamondbacks as their "Chief BASEBALL Officer". This title was chosen why—to avoid confusion?10) This is 2014. Qatar is scheduled to host soccers World Cup in 2022. Do you worry about anything else that may or may not happen eight years from now?11) If there was nothing wrong with Sidney Crosby, I still want to know what was wrong with Sidney Crosby, dont you?12) If the Indiana Pacers win the NBA title, or if they make the NBA Finals, will NBA analysts who called the Pacers the most dysfunctional team ever known stop being NBA analysts?13) Thomas Vanek will soon be in the news when the New York Islanders decide which year, this or next, their first-round draft pick will revert to the Buffalo Sabres as part of the payment for Vanek. Meanwhile, shouldnt Vanek be making news now, as a member of the Montreal Canadiens? Or is being invisible newsworthy?14) Speaking of the Buffalo Sabres, if the next NHL season begins with them looking for a goalie and Ryan Miller looking for a team….ddddddddddddhould I continue?15) When the Cleveland Browns say that Johnny Manziel did not display a "diva-style" personality at their rookie minicamp, do you want to say "Hey, Cleveland Browns, it was only rookie minicamp"?16) Do you believe that good spring training results lead to good regular-season results? If so, you should offer as proof Melky Cabreras MLB-leading 30 spring hits, and his current regular-season total of 58, #2 in the majors. You should not refer to the spring-best RBI total of Kansas Citys Mike Moustakas. He knocked in 18 runs in 56 exhibition at-bats, and he has followed with 17 RBI in 121 regular-season at-bats, and a .153 batting average.17) I dont want to gang up on umpires, but wouldnt it be funny to hear one say that the 50 per cent of his calls that were upheld by video review were the ones he thought he had blown?18) Is Mark Jackson an NBA coach who sometimes broadcasts NBA games, or is he an NBA broadcaster who sometimes coaches NBA games?19) Are you a Blue Jays fan who longs to see a perplexed John Farrell in the dugout of the Boston Red Sox? You should have been watching the DET-BOS weekend series, or maybe youll get another chance this week. Its up to the Jays, because the Red Sox are doing their best to play their worst.20) And finally…..the thing Ive learned about this story of California Chrome and breathing strips is that breathing strips still exist. Remember when they were all the rage for humans? Is it only horses that wear them now?
