CF Montréal was unable to secure a victory on the road as they were defeated 2-0 by NYCFC in a match where Alonso Martinez stood out with two impressive goals, guided by assists from Hannes Wolf. On the other hand, Montréal’s Josef Martinez missed several scoring opportunities in the first half.
The CF Montréal players showed creativity in their offensive moves during the first half, but lack of execution led to missed chances. Despite leading in possession and attempts on target, Montréal failed to convert their opportunities into goals.
NYCFC solidified their midfield after taking the lead, making it difficult for Montréal to break through. The second half saw Montréal struggle with transitions and lack of inspiration in the attacking third, according to coach Laurent Courtois.
Despite Montréal having more possession and attempts on goal, NYCFC’s clinical finishing, especially by Martinez, proved decisive. Goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois made several remarkable saves to keep the scoreline respectable.
CF Montréal’s struggles on the road continue, with their last away win dating back to March. NYCFC, on the other hand, extended their home record to 8-3-1 and moved up to fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.
Matias Coccaro made a return to the game in the second half after being left out in the previous match due to disciplinary issues. The team will now prepare for their upcoming home match against Whitecaps de Vancouver.
