Montreal continues rough start to the season and has now gone 270 minutes without scoring a goal
CF Montreal’s offensive struggles once again shone bright, continuing the club’s worst-ever start to a Major League Soccer season as it fell 1-0 to D.C. United in the first game at Stade Saputo on Saturday night.
Quioto has been the top scorer in each of the last three seasons with Montreal — the entirety of his tenure with the club. The Honduran international also has two of the team’s three goals this season, but missed the game because of a leg injury sustained against the New England Revolution last week.
However, it took only 15 seconds of second-half action for that momentum to be undone. Immediately after kickoff, a long ball was sent to Christian Benteke who laid it off for Mateusz Klich. His shot from just outside the box rang off the inside of the post and bounced into the path of O’Brien who managed to squeeze the ball past a slew of diving Montreal players.
With the lead secured, D.C. dropped into a more defensive low block, stifling Montreal attacks before they could even get started. Around the 70th minute, Montreal switched from its usual five-back formation to a more conventional four-defender setup and found much more success. However, they could not convert that pressure into an equalizer, having still scored just three goals this season.
