MONTREAL — George Campbell's late goal helped push CF Montreal past Eastern Conference heavyweights New England Revolution 1-0 on Saturday evening at Stade Saputo.
Campbell scored in the 86th minute for Montreal , handing New England just their second loss in 11 Major League Soccer games and denying them a single shot on target.
The game started with both teams restricting the space, making plays through the lines impossible for the majority of the first half. On Montreal’s end, the offence seemed out of sync for the majority of the half. Montreal would find themselves in advanced positions on a number of occasions but could not seem to find the final ball to open New England up, leaving many players frustrated at the break.
Line breaking passes from the defence and a strong press continued the pressure on the visitors who were caught out of position more frequently as they fatigued.
