On Friday night, CF Montreal snapped their four-game winless streak with a decisive 3-1 victory over the New England Revolution. The win was a much-needed boost for Montreal, who had the fewest points in MLS this season prior to the match.

The Revolution had taken an early 1-0 lead through Tomás Chancalay's goal in the 3rd minute, but Montreal's offense proved too much for the home side. Goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois made a key save for Montreal in the 53rd minute to preserve the lead.
The victory was a much-needed confidence boost for Montreal, who have struggled mightily this season. The three points moved them off the bottom of the MLS table, though they still have a lot of ground to make up in the standings.
