Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba made a tame Major League Soccer debut for Montreal Impact in their 1-0 home loss to Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
The former Ivory Coast player entered the game in the 59th minute to a standing ovation from the Montreal crowd but had his night spoiled in the end.
Philadelphia’s Sebastien Le Toux scored the winner in the 78th minute on an assist from Eric Ayuk Mbu, ending their five-game winless streak.

For the night, Drogba had two shots and two fouls in his 31 minutes for Montreal.
‘I thought he brought a presence in the team,’ Montreal coach Frank Klopas told reporters. ‘I just think we’ve got to find a better way to use him. That’s going to take time.’
In other MLS matches, Vancouver regained first place in the Western Conference with a 1-0 win over Dallas.
Cristian Techera back-heeled in a goal in the 32nd minute for the Whitecaps who moved two points above Los Angeles.
