No Didier Drogba, no problem for the Montreal Impact, as Ignacio Piatti once again showed his incredible skill to open the scoring in this 401 Derby encounter with Toronto FC.

Drogba was absent from the Impact's 18-man roster for the day, but Piatti took the attacking impetus upon himself well enough, smashing a curling long-distance effort from out wide past Clint Irwin with ease.

It was a goal born of nothing but pure instinct and skill, and gave Montreal a crucial 1-0 lead at home as the club looks to clinch a playoff berth.
