The Montreal Impact, a team which failed to win on the road last season, were once again kept out of the win column in their MLS season-opener.

Jairo Arrieta scored the game’s only goal in the 59th minute Saturday in Washington D.C. in a 1-0 over the Montreal Impact.

Former Montreal Impact team captain Davy Arnaud helped set up the goal that ended in a shot from 18 yards out past Evan Bush.

The Impact came close to getting an equalizer in the 76th minute when Hassoun Camara’s shot from an in-close melee was blocked by United defender Conor Doyle. Impact pleas for a hand-ball call were denied.

Justin Mapp left the game on a stretcher in the 81st minute after colliding into the D.C. goalkeeper. He suffered a dislocated elbow, the team revealed after the game.

The Impact next play an MLS league game on March 21 against the New England Revolution.
