CF Montreal falls to Austin FC
CF Montreal’s heavily rotated lineup fell 1-0 to a trailing Austin FC at the Stade Saputo on Saturday night in Montreal.
This result continues Montreal’s poor form (7-6-2) with a man up, having been outscored 3-0 this season with a numerical advantage.
Former Montreal forward Maxi Urruti was the only scorer for Austin (8-4-3) with a score in the 67th minute.
The best and only chance of the first half came just before half an hour through a Montreal corner. After a touch from Rudy Camacho, the ball landed on Kei Kamara, who was alone up front but not ready to receive it as the ball fell harmlessly into the hands of Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver.
It was more of the same after that opportunity with neither team advancing much until the end of the half. A careless and unnecessary tackle in the offensive third caused Daniel Perreira to be sent off for a second yellow, reducing Austin to 10 men.

Maximiliano Urruti scores in the 67th minute against his former team as Austin beats Montreal 1-0.
Montreal came out in the second half looking to take advantage of that lead, getting behind the visitors’ baseline. Another golden opportunity presented itself to Kamara after a low cross from Zachary Brault-Guillard left him with the simplest touch. However, once again, he couldn’t seem to put it away, letting Austin walk free.
That miss would come back to haunt them just 15 minutes later when a perfect cross from John Gallagher found Urruti, putting Austin up 1-0.
Montreal’s last chance at a late draw came with five minutes remaining during a mad scramble in the box, but a desperate Romell Quioto couldn’t finish.
