Overview
- CF Montreal erased a 2-0 halftime deficit to force a 2-2 draw with the New England Revolution on Saturday after Brayan Vera scored from distance and Prince Owusu headed home the equalizer.
- Carles Gil opened the scoring from the penalty spot and added an assist for New England, while Dor Turgeman also scored in the first half.
- New England goalkeeper Matt Turner made six saves but could not preserve the lead, leaving the Revolution with a 9-5-3 record and continued concerns about results away from home.
- Montreal’s comeback gives the club a morale boost but leaves it outside the playoff places at 4-10-4 and under pressure to add attacking reinforcements to convert momentum into wins.
- Both teams turn quickly to new challenges with New England set to host Houston next and Montreal scheduled to host D.C. United, and the result increases scrutiny on New England’s seven-of-nine road matches coming up.
