No drop-off in ridership at Pawtucket-CF station after S. Attleboro reopens - Valley Breeze

Call it what you want.

A double.

A two-bagger.

As in bagging a brace.

It was quite appropriate that Alonso Martinez accomplished that feat at a baseball park, namely Citi Field, to pace New York City FC to a 2-0 victory over CF Montreal on Wednesday night.

The win lifted City (11-8-2, 35 points) into fourth place in the MLS Eastern Conference past the idle Red Bulls (9-4-8, 35) while 13th-place Montreal (22) fell to 5-9-7.

The Cityzens record their eighth home victory of the season their primary residence is Yankee Stadium. Their 8-3-1 at home is second best in the league, trailing only Los Angeles FC (9-0-2).

It was Citys third clean sheet of the campaign.

When you have a goalkeeper like Matt Freese who performed at a really high level, he deserves clean sheets, head coach Nick Cushing said.

Despite the win, Cushing felt his team should have scored more goals.

You guys watch us week in, week out, and you can see when were good, you can feel when were good because its entertaining, he said. Its good to watch goal chances. My frustration tonight is for you guys and the fans. We should put three, four, five [goals] up, thats a real New York performance. We missed too many chances tonight, but if we keep the expected goals at 2.1, 2.5, or 2,7, well win football games.

It took two minutes of waiting for NYCFC to celebrate the first goal of the match, but it was worth it.

With the game only nine minutes old, the hosts took advantage of a giveaway by Montreal right back George Campbell. Hannes Wolf passed to Martinez, who fired a 12-yard shot into the right corner past goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois.

However, the assistant referees flag was up, signifying that Martinez was offside.

After a two-minute delay due to VAR, referee Marcos de Oliveira declared the goal was good and the Cityzens had their lead and Martinez his seventh goal of the campaign. He hadnt found the net in slightly more than a month, or since he recorded a hat-trick off the bench in the 5-1 triumph past the San Jose Earthquakes on May 31.

I feel good playing as a nine, and Im just taking advantage of the opportunity that coach is giving me, Martinez said.

Just 15 seconds into first-half stoppage time Martinez almost got a brace in the as he nearly scored off yet another Montreal mistake. This time he danced in 1 v 1 on Sirois but sent his attempt just wide right.

The visitors had a couple of opportunities in the opening half, but keeper Matt Freeze was up to the task, stopping Sunusi Ibrahim in the 19th minute and then making a diving save to his left to deny Kwadwo Opoku two minutes into added time.

Martinez eventually did get his second in the 56th minute on a quick, bang-bang play. Wolf again found the Costa Rican forward and he pinged a 12-yard shot home for a two-goal advantage.

Wolf said that working with Alonso is great. Not only tonight; hes doing a lot of work and is a great striker for us. [He is] giving us a lot of good runs into space and can set the ball very well. [I am] very happy for him.

Wolf was keen to celebrate a goal of his own in the 68th minute. He came in on Sirois, but the goalie saved his attempt to keep the hosts lead at two goals.

We had a tough halftime, Freese said. We didnt perform well in the first half. We were up 1-0, but we should have been up by a lot more. We werent keeping the ball and putting pressure on our defensive end because we were not keeping the ball. When we got on the field, my focus was just to bring everyone together and just preach togetherness. Those are the moments. What I said was, these are the ones you must win; we need three points today. We want to be a top team. Theres just no question that we need to win this game today. Thats what I was saying [to the team]. We must stick together and believe in each other.

A TWO-BAGGER: Martinezs 2 goals lift NYCFC over CF Montreal - frontrowsoccer.com

The 2024 edition of MLS is back in action with another set of matches this week as CF Montreal take on an impressive New York City FC side in an important encounter at the Citi Field on Wednesday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.

CF Montreal are in 10th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have not been at their best this season. The Canadian outfit eased past Philadelphia Union by a comfortable 4-2 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

New York City FC, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table and have been impressive over the past year. The hosts defeated Orlando City by a 4-2 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

New York City FC have stepped up to the plate this season and will need to make their mark this week. Santiago Rodriguez and Hannes Wolf have shouldered the goalscoring burden for the hosts and will need to be at their lethal best in this fixture.

CF Montreal have failed to hit their stride and have plenty of work to do ahead of this fixture. New York City FC are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: New York City FC 2-0 CF Montreal

Tip 1: Result - New York City FC to win

Tip 2: Game to have over 2.5 goals - No

Tip 3: New York City FC to keep a clean sheet - Yes

Tip 4: Hannes Wolf to score - Yes

Dominic Iankov scored the tiebreaking goal in the 89th minute and Ruan added insurance three minutes later as CF Montreal recorded a 4-2 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Union on Saturday night.

Bryce Duke had a goal and an assist and Josef Martinez registered his 108th career goal for Montreal (5-8-7, 22 points), which snapped a four-match winless streak (0-1-3).

Quinn Sullivan and Jesus Bueno scored goals for Philadelphia (4-8-8, 20 points). The Union dropped their fourth consecutive match and are winless over their past seven (0-4-3).

Montreal's decisive goal was set up by Raheem Edwards, who delivered a pass to Iankov, and the latter kicked it past Philadelphia goalkeeper Andrew Rick. It was Iankov's second goal of the season.

Then Montreal put the match away when Ruan got the ball on the doorstep of the net and knocked it past Rick for his first goal of the season.

Montreal goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois made three saves, while Rick had two.

CF Montreal outshot the Union 14-8 and put six attempts on target to Philadelphia's five.

Union leading scorer Daniel Gazdag (10 goals) entered the match in the 62nd minute but only took one shot. He just returned to the team after missing three matches while playing for the Hungarian national team.

Philadelphia took a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute when Sullivan's right-footed shot hit the left post and caromed into the net. It was Sullivan's second goal of the season.

Montreal knotted the score seven minutes later on a corner kick. Duke sent a boot toward the goalmouth, and Martinez jumped up and ferociously smacked a header into the net. It was his third goal of the season.

Philadelphia took a 2-1 lead in the 41st minute in a scramble situation following Leon Flach's corner kick. The ball went toward the right corner of the net, and Bueno knocked it past Sirois.

CF Montreal tied things in the 56th minute on another freak play. Duke took a free kick and sent a right-footer into the box toward Martinez, but it sailed over the forward's head.

Rick was focused on Martinez and jumped to try and thwart any attempted header. But the ball went to his right with a direct path to the net. Philadelphia's Jack Elliott gave chase and was unable to clear the ball, giving Duke his second goal of the season.

CF Montreal storm past Union thanks to late burst - Deadspin

After seeing a lengthy winning streak recently end, New York City FC will try to start another one when they host CF Montreal on Wednesday evening.

New York City (10-8-2, 32 points) went on a run of five consecutive wins spanning the better part of May. June, however, turned out to be a rough month: New York City FC dropped three straight matches, first losing at home to the Columbus Crew and then falling to the LA Galaxy and Nashville SC on the road.

But on Friday, NYCFC topped Orlando City 4-2 for their seventh home win of the season; only Los Angeles FC (nine) has more. Key to that victory was Tayvon Gray, credited with a pair of assists to bring his season total up to four.

"He's an exceptional game player, and what I mean by that is his mentality is strong," NYCFC coach Nick Cushing said of Gray. "I know we can trust Tayvon in these moments. ... He's really improving his game and he's really helping the team at the moment."

For Montreal (5-8-7, 22 points), a 4-2 win on Saturday against the struggling Philadelphia Union snapped an 0-1-3 stretch.

Montreal, looking for back-to-back wins for the first time since the second and third match days of the season, has struggled to piece together a sustained run of strong form. Still, the club is just two points behind Atlanta United for the ninth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

"I don't want to be rude, but we have to be consistent when we play good and when we play bad," CF Montreal striker Josef Martinez said. "In this league, you have to be 100 percent every day. ... Hopefully, this victory (against Philadelphia) helps, not only for the players but for all of Montreal, and we are here all together."

Montreal, 2-6-3 away from home, has not won on the road since March 10. It will continue to be without Mathieu Choiniere, Samuel Piette and Joel Waterman (Canada) -- plus Ariel Lassiter (Costa Rica) -- due to Copa America. Choiniere was named an MLS All-Star on Monday along with NYCFC defender Thiago Martins.

Meanwhile, NYCFC will need to navigate the long-term absence of Malachi Jones, who broke his right leg during the win against Orlando and underwent surgery on Saturday. The No. 8 overall selection in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft has accumulated a goal and three assists through 14 appearances (four starts) this season.

NYCFC vying to start new win streak vs. CF Montreal - Deadspin

The 2024 edition of MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Philadelphia Union take on a struggling CF Montreal side in an important clash at the Saputo Stadium on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.

Philadelphia Union are in 11th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have been inconsistent this season. The Union slumped to a damaging 2-0 defeat at the hands of Charlotte FC in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.

CF Montreal, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table and have struggled this season. The home side suffered a 4-1 defeat against Colorado Rapids last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Philadelphia Union have not been at their best in recent months and are in desperate need of an immediate resurgence. Tai Baribo has been impressive for the Union and will look to add to his goal tally in this match.

CF Montreal can pack a punch on their day but also have several issues to address this weekend. Philadelphia Union are the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.

Prediction: CF Montreal 1-2 Philadelphia Union

Tip 1: Result - Philadelphia Union to win

Tip 2: Game to have over 2.5 goals - Yes

Tip 3: CF Montreal to score first - Yes

Tip 4: Tai Baribo to score - Yes
