The Montreal Impact got a glimpse of what life might be like when Didier Drogba hangs up his boots.
With the Ivorian legend sidelined by suspension for Saturday night's matchup with the Houston Dynamo at Stade Saputo, Matteo Mancosu got his chance and came through by scoring a 76th minute beauty to lead the home side to a 1-0 win.
The Impact struggled for much of the night, as Houston enjoyed the better of the chances – but it was the Italian on loan from Bologna that proved the difference as he expertly brought down aMarco Donadel pass at the top of the box, and in one motion swiveled to strike the ball across his body past a diving Joe WIllis.
