Toronto FC\u00a0(3W-6L-6T, 15 points) returned from the\u00a0FIFA World Cup 26\u2122 break with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against rivals\u00a0CF Montr\u00e9al\u00a0(4W-8L-3T, 15 points) in the latest edition of the\u00a0401 Derby\u00a0at Stade Saputo on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
Toronto FC Head Coach Robin Fraser made three changes to the side that started the club\u2019s final match before the FIFA World Cup 26\u2122, with Zane Monlouis, Richie Laryea and Theo Corbeanu replacing Nicksoen Gomis, Jonathan Osorio and Malik Henry in the starting eleven. Fresh off playing a key role in Canada\u2019s historic FIFA World Cup 26\u2122 campaign, Laryea captained the Reds as Jonathan Osorio served a suspension for yellow card accumulation. Canadian Theo Corbeanu returned from injury to make his first start since TFC\u2019s 2026 MLS season finale against Orlando City last October.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The latest edition of the\u00a0401 Derby\u00a0began as a cagey affair, with TFC goalkeeper Luka Gavran producing a sharp low save inside the opening minute to deny Hennadii Synchuk as the two Canadian rivals went into half-time level.<\/p>\n
Seeking an attacking spark to break the deadlock, Robin Fraser turned to options off the bench, introducing CF Montr\u00e9al duo Jules-Anthony Vilsaint and Djordje Mihailovic in the 62nd\u00a0and 74th\u00a0minutes respectively.<\/p>\n
At the other end, shot-stopper Luka Gavran continued an impressive performance between the sticks, producing a crucial save to deny Montr\u00e9al\u2019s Daniel R\u00edos in the 77th minute to keep the score level at 0-0.<\/p>\n
Both Eastern Conference clubs pushed for a late winner but were ultimately unable to break the deadlock as TFC and goalkeeper Luka Gavran held firm to record their second clean sheet of the 2026 MLS season, earning a point in a goalless draw from Montreal, Quebec.<\/p>\n
The Reds continue their MLS season with a road trip to take on New England Revolution on Wednesday, July 22. Kick-off from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast globally on Apple TV and on TSN4 in Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n
