After muscling defender Kai Trwein out of the way, Owusu was able to get a lunging foot on the end of a Matty Longstaff cross. New York was able to grow into the game much more following the goal and enjoyed much more of the ball.

Yielding to the pressure, Montreal dropped into a lower and more compact block, effectively depriving New York of any real scoring opportunities.

Both teams held the status quo in the opening stages of the first half, as it was now Montreal’s turn to grow into the game. After gaining more of a foothold, they found increased progress down the left flank.

That success would significantly complicate life for New York, which would see right back Tayvon Gray pick up two yellow cards in four minutes and force the squad to go down a man. However, there has been recent precedent that kept them in the tie.

Montreal’s experience with a man advantage this season has been nothing short of disastrous. Over two separate occasions this season, they have yet to score and have conceded four times, throwing away three points in the process.

While New York had a golden opportunity to tie the game just moments after the red card, Montreal held on for its second consecutive win for the first time since Oct. 2024.
