Impact To Play Charleston in Quarterfinals
The Montreal Impact have been secured 5th place overall in the USL Division 1 Standings and will face the Charleston Battery (4th) in the playoff quarterfinal round of a two-leg aggregate goal series.
Saturday night, the Puerto Rico Islanders defeated Miami FC 3-1, which secured third place for the Islanders and fourth place to the Battery. Friday’s 0-0 draw between Rochester and Charleston guaranteed the fifth spot to the Impact, making today’s final game of the USL season between Charleston and the already eliminated Minnesota Thunder meaningless.
The first leg between Montreal and Charleston will be played Thursday at Saputo Stadium, at 7:30 pm (radio-canada.ca/sports, CKAC Sports, THE TEAM 990, USLlive.com). The date and time of the second leg are yet to be determined.
The top seven teams in the rankings advanced to the playoffs. The regular season champion, the Portland Timbers, earned a bye for the semifinal round. In the other two quarterfinal series, Carolina (2nd) will face Vancouver (7th), while Puerto Rico (3rd) will match up against Rochester (6th).
After the quarterfinals, teams will be ranked according to the regular season standings. The semifinals will be played between September 30 and October 4. The final round this year will be played on two games. The home and away series will be held from October 9 to the 11, and from October 16 to the 18.
