Chinonso Offor scores winner as CF Montreal edges Toronto FC 2-1 to reach Canadian Championship semis
Nigerian forward Chinonso Offor scored the winning goal in the 39th minute and CF Montreal held on to defeat Toronto FC 2-1 in Canadian Championship quarter-final play Tuesday.
After an uneventful start, there were three goals just before halftime before an announced crowd of 17,726 at BMO Field. Montreal scored the first two, taking advantage of poor Toronto coverage. It was the first goal conceded by Montreal since April 15 in a 1-0 loss to D.C. United – a shutout streak that stretched 448 minutes in all competitions.
On Wednesday, it’s the Vancouver Whitecaps at York United FC in Toronto and TSS Rovers FC at Pacific FC in an all-B.C. matchup in Langford. TSS Rovers, a semi-pro side that plays in B.C. League1, upset the CPL’s Valour FC 3-1 in the preliminary round.
TFC started three Canadians, the minimum allowed under tournament rules. Montreal had five Canadian starters.
