Columbus Crew comeback downs Montreal Impact

Columbus Crew have come from behind to defeat leaders Montreal Impact in the MLS Eastern Conference.

Marco Di Vaio gave the Canadian side the lead in the 23rd minute, but second-half goals from Chad Marshall and Dominic Oduro helped the Crew cut the gap on Chicago Fire to three points.

The result means that Marco Schallibaum's men remain just one point ahead of New York Red Bulls, although they have a game in hand.

Di Vaio put the hosts ahead in the 23rd minute when he got on the end of Matteo Ferrari's header back across goal to nod home from close range.

Troy Perkins denied Jairo Obando Arrieta from notching an equalising in the 62nd minute, but the Black and Gold fans did not have to wait much longer for parity to be restored.

It was Chad Marshall who got his name on the scoresheet, powering a header past Perkins from Oduro's free kick.

The Ghanaian then slotted Federico Higuain's cross home in 77th minute, which proved to be the winning goal.
