Didier Drogba scores hat trick in first MLS startDidier Drogba recorded a hat trick in his first Major League Soccer start to rally the Montreal Impact to a 4-3 win over the Chicago Fire on Saturday night.
The former Chelsea star, who completed his move to MLS in late July, opened the scoring with his first goal for his new club in the 27th minute. The striker brought the ball down in the box, then turned and fired into the far post.
The Fire, who tried to sign the Ivorian first before trading his rights to Montreal, rallied to take a 3-2 lead on Kennedy Igboananike's goal in the 59th minute.
But Drogba equalized two minutes later from a quick restart and then gave his side the lead for good five minutes later with a header from close range.
Drogba, who had only made one substitute appearance to this point, is the first player to tally a hat trick within his first two career MLS games.
After Drogba's opener, Jeff Larentowicz tied the game with a penalty, and Wandrille Lefevre briefly gave the Impact the lead again before Gilberto levelled the score at 2 a minute later.
