Anything Kennedy Igboananike can do, Ignacio Piatti can do better.

The Chicago Fire winger scored an audacious goal from the edge of the box in the first half on Saturday to give his team a 1-0 lead over the Montreal Impact at halftime, but a cheeky back-heel goal from Didier Drogba in the second brought the two sides back level at 1-1.

In added time, Piatti replicated Igboananike's goal, scoring with a similar looping, curling shot from the edge of the box to give his team a 2-1 win at Toyota Park.

With the win, Montreal retains its spot at the top of the Eastern Conference.
