On this Saturday evening at Stade Saputo, CF Montreal came to the end of its streak of 10 games in 33 days, after losing in the final of the Canadian Championship three days earlier. What’s more, he crossed swords with Minnesota United, a powerhouse on the road.
All the logic pointed to a complex result. However, the reverse has happened.
Without complex, the Impact took advantage of a double from Mason Toye – against his former club – to win 4-0.
The visitors saw all the colors, especially blue behind their often faulted defensive line. After 20 games this season in gray, the club took advantage of its first duel with a home shirt to put on a show.
If the Bleu-blanc-noir is practically incapable of scoring points away from home, it is saved by the Saputo stadium, which has become a fortress. It’s a seventh straight home win in all competitions for the Montrealers. A sequence during which he did not concede a single goal, partly thanks to his goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois, but also given his tighter defensive.
This victory also allowed Montreal to return to the playoff picture, virtually taking 9e rank, the last giving access to the autumnal dance.
