Didier Drogba hit his fourth goal of the season as the Montreal Impact were held to a fourth straight draw after their MLS clash with the Philadelphia Union ended 1-1.

The former Chelsea striker opened the scoring just four minutes into the contest when Marco Donadel's corner was not cleared properly by CJ Sapong, falling straight to Drogba to lash home from close range.

The Union levelled in the 24th minute as Chris Pontius' cross was laid off to Sapong by Sebastien Le Toux to fire home.

New signing Kei Kamara failed to score on his debut for the New England Revolution, but his new side managed a 2-0 win at home against the Chicago Fire with goals from Lee Nguyen in the first half and rookie Femi Hollinger-Janzen late in the second half.
