CF Montreal Routs Red Bulls 4-1 in Eullaffroy’s Debut

The result hints at a reset under a new coach after four straight losses.

Overview

  • Montreal beat New York 4-1 at Stade Saputo on Saturday in interim coach Philippe Eullaffroy’s first game in charge.
  • Prince Owusu led the attack with a converted penalty and three assists, giving him five goals this season.
  • Victor Loturi scored in the 5th minute, Owusu buried a 39th-minute penalty, Matty Longstaff made it 3-0 in the 49th, an own goal by Longstaff cut the gap, and Kwadwo Opoku finished it in the 77th.
  • The win ended a four-game skid and completed a season sweep of New York, moving Montreal to 2-6-0.
