MLS Week 25: Results & Standings

• by Soccer America , Aug 27, 2016

Montreal ended Toronto FC's seven-game unbeaten streak (six wins and a tie) when Ignacio Piatti's goal gave the shorthanded Impact a 1-0 win, its first ever at BMO Field. The weekend's results left just three points separating the top four teams in the Eastern Conference. FC Dallas has opened up a five-point lead in the Western Conference.

RECORD BOOK. Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando broke Kevin Hartman's all-time record with his 417th career start in MLS play. RSL teammate Kyle Beckerman is now MLS's all-time leader in minutes by a field player, passing Steve Ralston's career record in the 88th minute to finish the match with 33,145 career minutes played.
