CF Montreal wins 3rd straight MLS match with shutout victory over Orlando City SC
CF Montreal have extended their winning streak to three games in Major League Soccer and four in all competitions, beating visiting Orlando City SC 2-0 at Stade Saputo on Saturday night.
From the opening whistle, both teams looked to play to their strengths. Orlando enjoyed the lion's share of possession and pressed high up the pitch, but Montreal found success through its wing backs.
Ultimately neither team could find a breakthrough in the first 45 minutes as play often broke down before any real danger was created.
The beginning of the second half was not nearly as even. Usually struggling during this period of the game, Montreal thrived, dominating the tempo for the first 15 following the restart and pinning Orlando in its own half.
At the hour mark, a scramble in the Orlando penalty area led to Rudy Camacho hitting the post. Aaron Herrera's followup cross was then deflected off Jansson, giving Montreal the lead. Sensing blood in the water, the home side continued to press their advantage and doubled their lead just five minutes later.
