Impact midfielder Piatti named MLS player of the month for August
NEW YORK – Montreal Impact midfielder Ignacio Piatti has been named Major League Soccer’s player of the month for August.
Piatti scored seven goals, including two game-winning goals, and added an assist in five games in August, which included a four-game winning streak for the Impact.
The Argentine recorded back-to-back braces in a 3-0 win against Chicago on Aug. 16 and a 3-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 19 and is tied for second in MLS with four multi-goal games.
Montreal’s successful August has seen the Impact climb back into the MLS Eastern Conference playoff race. The club sits tied on points with sixth-place Atlanta United, though Atlanta sits in the conference’s final playoff spot with one less game played.
The Impact return to action Saturday against visiting Chicago.
