Jonathan Sirois Leads CF Montréal to a Goalless Draw Against Real Salt Lake

In a challenging evening at the office, Jonathan Sirois stood tall for CF Montréal as they faced off against the formidable Real Salt Lake at Saputo Stadium on Saturday night, resulting in a goalless draw.

The home team struggled with ball possession, but the return of key players such as Matías Cóccaro in the second half changed the dynamics of the game. However, their overall lack of efficiency with the ball was evident.

Fortunately, on the other end of the pitch, goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois had perhaps his best performance of the season, making crucial saves throughout the match. He thwarted six significant goal opportunities created by Real Salt Lake.

Real Salt Lake dominated possession in the first half, showcasing their prowess. Despite a few chances for Montréal, including a close attempt by Iankov, the team displayed palpable nervousness on the ball and struggled in the attacking third.

The absence of key players due to national team duties further challenged CF Montréal, with three key pillars, including Lassiter, Piette, and Choinière, being away at the Copa América.

The team will face the New York Red Bulls next on Wednesday at Saputo Stadium, before heading to Colorado to play against the Rapids.
