Harambee Stars midfielder Victor Wanyama marked his return from suspension with the match-winning goal as his side Montreal Impact narrowly beat New York RB 2-1 at the Stade Saputo on Sunday morning.Wanyama had missed the previous match after getting his marching orders while in action against Atlanta United for being involved in a punch-up with Josef Martinez.Entrusted with the armband, Wanayama stepped up to convert from the spot in the dying seconds of the match in a match which was not short of drama in the closing stages.Before the former Southampton man took the responsibility to convert, his two teammates had seen their efforts saved by the opponent’s goalkeeper only for the centre referee to adjudge that he was off his line after reviewing the pitchside monitor.The scorer had to be Victor Wanyama pic.twitter.com/uZfaEcjUPn— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) August 15, 2021 Even though Carlos Coronel palmed Wanyama’s kick, the touch was not strong enough to keep it out.New York had taken the lead late in the opening half through Patryk Klimala where the Polish had netted from the spot.Nigerian Ibrahim Sunusi drew Montreal level in the 71st minute before Wanyama won the three points in extra time.
