Montreal Impact’s Greatest-ever MLS-player - Round of 16, Day 2...

‘El Capi’ returns to centre stage this evening in R16 Match-up #3.

Bernier faces former team-mate, Swiss international, Blerim Dzemaili. Dzemaili polled lowest but one of all group runners-up, with 12%, after going up against Marco Di Vaio. Di Vaio is likely to be favourite heading into the evening’s second R16 match-up against Justin Mapp.

Former captain Bernier had the 3rd highest percentage poll numbers in the first stage and will be fancied to prevail over the Swiss with the support of his adoring Montreal public.

The winner will face either Bojan Krkic or Davy Arnaud in the quarter-final.

Marco Di Vaio was second only to Piatti in the group stages, in attracting 74% of the vote in his Group F quadrangular, which of course also included Dzemaili.

Despite having the misfortune to be drawn in Group C with Bernier, Justin Mapp still polled a respectable 21%.

Di Vaio will again be fancied to win this particular head to head, but expect respectable support for American international, Mapp. The winner of this tie will meet either Jukka Raitala or Ignacio Piatti in the quarter-final.
