Overview

  • CF Montreal, which edged New York City FC 1-0 Saturday at Stade Saputo, got the winner from Prince Owusu in the 18th minute.
  • Thomas Gillier kept a clean sheet with two saves as Montreal protected its lead with a compact, defense-first setup.
  • Matty Longstaff and Luca Petrasso supplied the assists on the goal, each recording a first assist of the season.
