MONTREAL -- Matteo Ferrari went from being the first-half goat to the extra-time hero for the Montreal Impact. After accidentally scoring into his own net only seven minutes in, the veteran defender got it back with a goal off a corner kick in added time on Saturday as the Impact pulled out an unlikely 3-2 MLS victory over Real Salt Lake. "Actually, today I scored twice," the 33-year-old former Italy defender said with a laugh. "Its my doppietta (brace), as we say in Italian. "After the own goal, I had a good answer at the end. Im happy for the team because we showed the character we have." The goal completed a second half comeback after Salt Lake captain Kyle Beckerman put the visitors ahead 2-1 in the 77th minute. Only three minutes later, rookie Maxim Tissot started the play that saw Andrew Wenger tip a pass to Marco Di Vaio to tie the game. With time almost expired, rookie Blake Smith got the ball to Ferrari off a corner kick and the central defender put a sliding shot low past Nick Rimando, as the 14,578 in the Saputo Stadium stands on a chilly afternoon went wild. "You could see in the second half he wanted to erase the black mark of the own goal," said coach Marco Schallibaum. "There was a lot of determination there, but thats what I like about this team." The victory kept Montreal (6-2-2) in the race for top spot in the Eastern Conference. Salt Lake (5-5-2), ended a two-game winning run, but not for want of chances to win. The visitors forward duo of Devon Sandoval and Olmes Garcia gave the Montreal defence fits all afternoon with their height and speed. Besides scoring twice, Salt Lake kept goalie Troy Perkins busy with 21 shots, including seven on target. Perkins had to reach out a hand to stop a glittering chance from Garcia 15 minutes in that could have given Salt Lake a two-goal lead. And he stoned substitute Joao Plata when the former Toronto FC midfielder was in alone in the 86th. "I still feel a lot of positive things about how Real Salt Lake approached this match and played this match," said coach Jason Kreis. "We were aggressive all match. "I think it was a pretty well-played match. We just have to look at how we finished, because if we had walked out with even one point, I think wed have felt pretty good about ourselves." Midfielder Felipe Martins scored in the first half for Montreal. The visitors pressured the Montreal defence early and it produced an own goal as Lovel Palmers pass into the middle was tipped in by Ferrari, normally the Impacts most reliable defender. Montreal got it back in the 39th as Jeb Brovsky sent Justin Mapp down the right flank and his low cross was put in by the sliding Felipe. Beckerman put Salt Lake ahead as he jumped on a loose ball after a corner kick and scored, only to see Di Vaio tie it up with his sixth of the season. Then Ferrari came up with his first MLS goal. "It was a big goal," said his fellow-Italian Di Vaio. "Its not easy for a defender to score, especially at the end of a game when youre tired. "It was a big win for the team." It was also a big day for Tissot, the Impact Academy graduate who picked up an assist in his first MLS start. He threw the ball in to Smith, who fed it back and then blocked out a defender so Tissot could rush toward the penalty area to feed Wenger for the tip to Di Vaio. "Most importantly, we got the win, but personally, it was a boost of confidence and its going to help me for the upcoming games," said Tissot, of Gatineau, Que. The victory kept the Impact unbeaten at home this season at 4-0-1, while Salt Lake dropped to 3-3-1 away. "Now weve officially established this place as a fortress," said Brovsky, the only Impact player besides Perkins to have played every minute of every Impact match in MLS this season. The Impact remain at home to face the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first leg of their Amway Canadian Championship series on Wednesday. Then they get a much-needed week off before playing host to Philadelphia on May 25. Salt Lake played the second of three straight road games. They play next week at Chivas USA. Salt Lake has never won in 10 MLS games in Canada. They have played six times in Toronto and three in Vancouver. It was their first visit to Montreal.

BUDAPEST, Hungary -- As a sport, Formula One has many strengths. Sadly, one of the biggest is our occasional tendency to take a few grains of sand and turn them into the Himalayas, as happened on Saturday night in Budapest.Hours after qualifying ended, news started to spread that up to eleven of the 22 drivers to have taken part in Saturdays session might find themselves disqualified and/or suffer back-of-the-grid drops because they had failed to set Q1 times within the required 107 percent margin of the leaders pace.In the end, the FIA stewards made the only logical decision they could -- a chaotic and rain-soaked session meant that cars fully capable of setting suitable track times simply hadnt had the opportunity to do so in a qualifying session that saw as many red flags as it did drops (buckets?) of rain. As a consequence, the provisional grid was allowed to stand, and the official qualifying results were published six hours after the chequered flag had fallen.It was a mess, even if the right outcome was achieved in the end.The latest iteration of the 107 percent rule (first seen in 1996 and dropped in 2002) came into force for the 2011 season, one year after the arrival of three new teams in the form of Campos Meta/HRT, Team Lotus/Caterham, and Virgin/Marussia/Manor led to endless complaints about borderline-dangerous mobile chicanes causing problems for those cars that were on the pace.In 2011, reviving the 107 percent rule made perfect sense. The 2010 incomers had been consistently five seconds off the pace of the Q1 frontrunners, and up to 10 seconds or more slower at the longer and more power-hungry circuits. Team radio was filled with frontrunners moaning about the mobile chicanes causing problems in qualifying, and in a year where the Q1 dropouts were all but a given, the reintroduction of the rule and speculation over who would or wouldnt make the grade each weekend was the only point of interest in the opening session.Now, however, we have eleven teams who only miss out on the 107 percent margin in highly unusual circumstances, as is reflected in the gaps from top to bottom of the post-qualy classifications in 2016: 105% from fastest to slowest in Q1 in Melbourne, 103% in Bahrain, 103% in Russia.dddddddddddd..The only races so far this season (barring this weekend in Hungary) that have seen violations of the 107 percent rule have been those where -- usually due to an early crash or technical problems -- drivers have been unable to set any time at all in the opening session, or whose time has not been reflective of their cars proven pace: Lewis Hamilton and Pascal Wehrlein in China, Max Verstappen and Felipe Nasr in Monaco, Kevin Magnussen in Canada, and Marcus Ericsson in Silverstone.Even the arrival of American newbies Haas F1 didnt bring about a return of 2010s lumpen backmarkers. Haas came in determined to do it their way, and the combination of a new form of technical partnership with Ferrari plus effective and ballsy team strategy at the first three races of the season meant that the incomers were Q2-ready from the very off.The rule changes coming in 2017 could well split the pack in the early phase of next season, but even that is not reason enough to keep the 107 percent cut-off. We are very fortunate to be in a position where the grid is filled with experienced teams who -- despite periods of domination from one outfit or another -- have proved themselves to be more than capable of reducing gaps to a level where the slower cars are not dangerous to the front-runners, however frustrating they might be to lap.As it stands, the 107 percent rule is subject to the discretion of the stewards, who are able to waive it if they feel that the car in question is capable of racing at acceptable speeds. Why not flip that on its head, and allow stewards to use their discretion to exclude those cars they feel to be unsafe? Our regulations are already complex enough -- a little simplicity is no bad thing, especially if its application prevents us from climbing yet another Everest made from a few small grains of sand.
