TORONTO — Mathieu Choiniere scored twice as CF Montreal defeated Toronto FC 3-2 Sunday, handing TFC a franchise-record ninth straight loss in all competitions.
Federico Bernardeschi had two goals in a losing cause for Toronto, with his second coming in injury time.
Down 2-0 at the break, Toronto mounted a comeback in the second half and cut the deficit to one goal. But the rally was essentially snuffed out when fullback Raoul Petretta was sent off in the 77th minute for bundling down Lassi Lappalainen in the box with Montreal on a three-on-one break. Choiniere scored in the 18th minute for Montreal, which also benefited from a 25th-minute Aime Mabika own goal.
The visitors went ahead in the 18th minute on their first shot on target. A long pass from a Montreal defender found Vilsaint whose shot from outside the penalty box hit the goalpost, then off the back of Romero. The rebound eventually bounced back in front and Choiniere beat fullback Brandon Servania to poke it in.
Montreal's form has also been rocky of late with just one win in its previous seven outings in all competitions.
