A young FC Montreal squad delivers Richmond their first loss at City Stadium
Facing a team yet to gain a single point this season, Richmond looked forward to hosting FC Montreal at City Stadium Saturday night. Montreal is a young, inexperienced squad with plenty of pace but not a lot of form. Richmond would control much of the possession, but it was on speedy counterattacks that Montreal dashed the Kickers' hopes of an easy three points.
Yudai Imura started wide left, the position traditionally held by a resting Brian Ownby. Richmond was out for blood early with Luiz Fernando off to the races down the right side in the first minute.
