CF Montreal clinches MLS playoff berth with 2-0 win over New York City FC
MONTREAL — CF Montreal is heading to the Major League Soccer playoffs after an impressive late-season turnaround.
Caden Clark scored a goal and set up another as Montreal defeated New York City FC 2-0 on Saturday, clinching a post-season berth on the final matchday of the regular season.
Josef Martinez also scored with Montreal (11-13-10) needing at least a draw in the Decision Day matchup to guarantee its spot in front of 19,619 at Saputo Stadium.
Montreal climbed to eighth in the Eastern Conference and will host Atlanta United in the wild-card matchup on Tuesday. The winner will take on Lionel Messi and first-place Inter Miami CF in the first round.
