Hassoun Camara might not be considered an offensive threat for the Impact, but he proved to be the perfect tonic for a team that has struggled lately to convert.

The veteran produced the only goal the home team would require, in the 49th minute, as Montreal topped the Columbus Crew 2-0 Saturday afternoon before 22,053 spectators at Olympic Stadium.

The victory ended a two-game losing streak for the Impact, which improved to 3-2. Camara’s goal was the first since Anthony Jackson-Hamel scored in second-half added time against the New York Red Bulls on March 12. Montreal failed to score a goal in its last two games.

The Crew, meanwhile, remain one of only two Major League Soccer teams still seeking its first victory. Columbus, which was playing its fourth road game this season, has only a pair of ties in five games.

Columbus eliminated the Impact in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, capturing the two-game series 4-3 on aggregate on its way to the MLS final, where it was defeated by Portland.
