A cold, wet day in the Bronx. Not the most inspiring of prospects. Disappointingly on Saturday, CF Montreal produced a performance to match.
They did have a purple patch lasting about 15 minutes at the beginning of the second-half, but by then the game was already lost, affirmed by Talles Magno’s powerful header on 64, which obliterated two Montreal defenders and restored a two goal lead for the MLS Cup champions.
Montreal led to its own downfall. The last thing you want to do against a good team struggling for goals, is gift them a couple in the first twenty minutes.
