CF Montreal took another step toward the Major League Soccer post-season, securing a decisive 4-1 win over the Portland Timbers at Stade Saputo on Saturday.
Sunusi Ibrahim , Mahala Opoku , Mathieu Choinière and Mason Toye scored for Montreal , which handed Portland its first loss in seven MLS matches.Montreal has made a habit of beginning its homes games on the front foot with lots of energy, and this game was no different. A different formation from its usual 3-5-2 as a 3-4-3 layout allowed Montreal to dominate the flanks with pace.
With momentum on their side, Montreal continued the high pressing that had worked so well and found a second goal just seven minutes later. This time it was Ibrahim’s turn to provide Opoku, laying off a pass at the top of the penalty area that the Ghanean forward fired home after it was deflected into the left corner.
