Own goal helped 10-men Montreal to get 2-0 win vs Red Bulls

Playing with 10 men didn’t stop CF Montreal to win 2-0 against New York Red Bulls on Saturday. The Canadians put on an impressive second-half defensive display to secure the victory at Stade Saputo.

Along with an own goal from Andres Reyes, Mathieu Choiniere scored in the 94th minute giving Montreal (2-6-0) their second win and first clean sheet of the Major League Soccer season.

In the 25th minute, a perfect ball from Aaron Herrera was deflected by defender Reyes, giving Montreal the lead.

As the second half began, Montreal continued their control over the pace of play, but that took a turn just after the hour mark, New York was given a way back into the game when a controversial officiating decision saw Iliadis receive his second yellow card for delay of game.
