MONTREAL — CF Montreal were no match for a dominant Columbus Crew side that left Stade Saputo with a 3-1 win on Wednesday evening.
Mathieu Choinière found the back of the net for Montreal , while Maximilian Arfsten, Diego Rossi, and Marino Hinestroza were the goal-scorers for Columbus as the reigning MLS Cup champions extended their unbeaten run in this fixture to five games.“It just comes down to a lack of execution.
Columbus broke through just nine minutes later against the run of play. After finding a gap in the Montreal penalty area, a lapse in coverage left Arfsten with an open goal, giving the visitors the lead. “I was feeling confident to take it so I wanted to,” said Choinière who has been in the news all week for an alleged trade request that would take him away from his boyhood club. “I do my talking on the pitch, and I’m just focusing on my soccer and giving my all for this club as long as I’m here.”
“We lost the ball in a rather silly way and it caught us out of position. One or two passes and they were in on us … I don’t know if there was missed coverage or who’s to blame, but lose possession in a way we shouldn’t that high up the field can hurt us,” said captain Samuel Piette. Columbus — seemingly unfazed by Montreal’s search for a late equalizer — held onto the ball throughout the closing stages of the game, capping off the match with a lengthy stint of possession that was finished off by Hinestroza in the 89th minute.
