Watch: Piatti burns Real Salt Lake with early brace

Give Ignacio Piatti an inch and he'll likely score. Give him a few yards and it's a foregone conclusion.

That's the lesson Real Salt Lake learned the hard way as the Argentine winger finished off a quick three-pass counterattack in clinical fashion to give the Montreal Impact a first-half lead.

The move was kicked off by Anthony Jackson-Hamel, who held up the ball before switching to a streaking Blerim Dzemaili. The middleman of the play then sent a long pass to a wide-open Piatti, who finished with a first-touch shot.

A few short minutes later, Piatti squirmed his way to a second, accounting for his sixth goal in his last four matches.
