CF Montreal defeats Nashville SC for 8th consecutive home win

CF Montreal won their eighth consecutive home game in all competitions, beating Nashville SC 1-0 at Stade Saputo on Wednesday night.

Bryce Duke scored the lone goal for Montreal (7-9-1) in the 27th minute, ending Nashville's 10-game unbeaten run.

Nashville (10-3-5) began the game in its standard low block, deploying two banks of four behind its strikers, conceding possession and looking for a counterattack.

However, Montreal's consistent pressure snuffed out any opportunity for Nashville to hit back, allowing the hosts to find the lead at the half-hour mark.

After being played through on goal, Sunusi Ibrahim decided against shooting and instead cut the ball back to the edge of the penalty area, where a waiting Duke powered the ball into the bottom corner.
