It didn't take Marco Di Vaio long to make his mark on Saturday's at Stade Saputo.
In fact, the Montreal Impact forward struck for a goal in the second minute and added two more goals before halftime in leading the hosts to a 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Union, and vault to the top of the Castrol Index Weekly Top 20.
Di Vaio now has a league-leading nine goals this season — tied with the Union's Jack McInerney, who also scored in Montreal on Saturday — and the Impact kept pace with the New York Red Bulls atop the Eastern Conference. The Impact trail the Red Bulls by two points but have four games in hand.
Some other names on this week's list: FC Dallas goalkeeper Raul Fernandez, Colorado Rapids midfielder Nathan Sturgis and Portland Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe, who helped extend Portland's unbeaten streak to 11 games with a 2-0 win on the road at D.C. United.
