Blerim Dzemaili stuck for a second half brace to help lift the Montreal Impact to a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium Saturday night.
Dzemaili latched onto a deflected cross and fired a first-time shot in from 15 yards for his fifth goal of the season in the 69th minute and then helped set up Piatti's stoppage-time penalty kick when he was taken down by Union goalkeeper John McCarthy in front of goal. Dzemaili capped off the Impact's second road win of the year in the fifth minute of stoppage time on an assist by Piatti.

Three Things
WE WILL GET BY
: It was an emotional start of the game for the Union and their fans as a moment of silence was held in memory of Kenny Hanson, the former Sons of Ben president who died this week after irreversible brain damage following a tragic accident last weekend. The Sons of Ben dedicated their tifo to Hanson, while the club played the Grateful Dead’s “Touch of Gray” in his honor. Alejandro Bedoya also wore a captain’s armband with ‘KH’ on it.
