CF Montreal beats Toronto FC for sixth consecutive win

Winger Lassi Lappalainen and striker Chinonso Offor scored once as CF Montreal beat Toronto FC in MLS Canadian Classique 2-0 on Saturday night.

Montreal has now won its last sixth straight game in all competitions. Toronto’s problems were even worse as they had to finish the last 34 minutes of the game with 10 men after winger Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty received a red card.

Goalkeeper Sean Johnson was the standout player for the visiting side, making four saves. Italian stars Federico Bernardeschi and Lorenzo Insigne were kept relatively quiet on Toronto’s offence throughout the match.

Saturday’s match wasn’t without fireworks as a scrum broke out between both teams at the end of the match. The injury-depleted Reds have just one win in their last nine matches.
