HAMILTON — Substitute Bryce Duke's 52nd-minute goal gave CF Montreal a 1-1 draw — and a valuable away goal — in the opening leg of its Canadian Championship quarterfinal with Forge FC on Tuesday.
The return leg is May 22 at Stade Saputo with the series winner facing either Toronto FC or Ligue1 Quebec champion CS Saint-Laurent in the semifinal. In the event of an aggregate tie, the team with the most away goals wins.On Wednesday, it's Pacific FC at Atletico Ottawa and Toronto at CS Saint-Laurent.
After an even opening 30 minutes, Forge went ahead in the 31st minute on a counterattack. Hamilton found Beni Badibanga down the left flank and the Belgian winger cut in, sending in a cross that eluded Hamilton but found an unmarked David Choiniere. Edwards, intercepting a Forge attempted clearance, curled a ball into the penalty box that found its way to Duke after a give-and-go with Mathieu Choiniere. Duke's first shot hit a defender but came right back to him and he made no mistake with the second attempt in the 52nd minute.
It marked the fourth year in a row that Forge and Montreal have clashed in Cup play with the MLS side winning all three meetings: 8-7 in a penalty shootout in the 2021 semifinal, 3-0 in the '22 quarterfinal and 2-0 in the '23 semifinal. Montreal coach Laurent Courtois made seven changes to the starting lineup that lost 4-1 at Nashville SC on Saturday.
