Nasl Week 17: Atlanta aggancia Montreal in coda

La Week 17 del torneo Nasl è costituita da solo tre gare, con i Carolina Railhawks sempre più leader e prepotentemente in testa alla classifica, riscattando alcuni mezzi passi falsi dell'ultimo mese, piegando per 4-1 gli Edmonton FC: doppietta del brasiliano Campos, autorete di Hamilton, e sigillo del capocannoniere maltese Etienne Barbara. Per i canadesi gol della bandiera di capitan Saiko.

Nell'anticipo del venerdì, i Minnesota Stars avevano sconfitto di misura i Montreal Impact: decisivo un rigore trasformato dal centrocampista Neil Hlavaty. Un successo che vale l'aggancio al terzo posto proprio agli Edmonton.

Montreal sempre più sul fondo, anche se c'è molta attesa sul contributo che potranno portare i tanti volti nuovi in arrivo, ma nel mentre c'è da registrare l'aggancio subito ad opera degli Atlanta Silverbacks, ieri vittoriosi per 2-1 sui Tampa Bay.
