CF Montreal\u2019s MLS winless streak stretched to eight games after the home draw with DC United.<\/p>\n

Although the Canadians were desperate for maximum points, there were plenty of positives to take for Philippe Eullaffroy and his men. They travel to Columbus Crew in midweek, searching for a first MLS victory in over two months.<\/p>\n

Impact Claims Fourth Tie in Six MLS Matches<\/p>\n

Montreal\u2019s winless run continued after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with DC United at Saputo Stadium. After a goalless first period, the game sprang into life when Prince Owusu scored from the spot five minutes after the break.<\/p>\n

The Impact was headed for its first league victory since a 2-0 home triumph over Orlando City over two months ago. However, DC\u2019s in-form striker Tai Baribo had other ideas.<\/p>\n

The Israel international netted for a fifth successive MLS match to give the capital club a share of the spoils in Quebec.<\/p>\n

Sean Johnson was in inspired form in the United net, making six saves to keep Montreal at bay. The home team huffed and puffed but could not find a way through.<\/p>\n

Although the winless run extended to eight MLS matches, the performance was certainly a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

A Trip to Columbus Next Up for the Canadians<\/p>\n

Montreal does not have to wait long for its next MLS match, as Eullaffroy\u2019s troops travel to Ohio in midweek to face Columbus.<\/p>\n

The Crew is only three points above Montreal in the current Eastern Conference standings, so the Canadians will fancy their chances of leaving ScottsMiracle-Gro Field with a positive result.<\/p>\n

Columbus is in patchy form, winning just twice in MLS since April. On Saturday night, the Crew suffered a 3-1 away loss to Charlotte FC.<\/p>\n

Montreal has not won away from home in MLS since an impressive 3-0 victory at New York Red Bulls in early March. After zero wins in eight league fixtures, Eullaffroy\u2019s team desperately needs three points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug 15, 2026; Montreal, Province of Quebec, CAN; CF Montreal defenseman Dawid Bugaj (27) plays the ball and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":860696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-860695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/860695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=860695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/860695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/860696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=860695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=860695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=860695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
