Overview

  • Reports and fan videos from Saturday’s match in Montreal say some home supporters chanted “Death to Israel” and “Free Palestine” toward New England forward Dor Turgeman.
  • Witnesses cited by multiple outlets also reported that beer bottles were thrown at Turgeman during his goal celebration, though those accounts remain unverified by the club or league.
  • After Turgeman celebrated near the stands by putting his hand to his ear, Montreal goalkeeper Sébastian Breza shoved him on the field and received a yellow card.
  • CF Montréal released a statement condemning hateful behavior and said it is reviewing the matter while working with MLS and the Revolution to establish the facts.
  • Turgeman is a 22-year-old Israeli international who joined the Revolution in 2025, and the league’s anti-discrimination rules mean the review could lead to club or MLS discipline depending on the findings.
