Head coach Hernan Losada said he was very happy that his team had picked up a point away from home.
“All the players did a great job offensively and defensively, especially in the first half. I think that’s an important point because when you look at the gap in the standings with a team like Charlotte not lagging behind us, it’s important to gain points away from home. Despite everything, there are positive points and points that need improvement,” stressed Hernan Losada in a press conference after the meeting.
The locals were very menacing early in the game. Winger Enzo Copetti was left alone at the opening but was frustrated by Sirois, who made an excellent save.
The Montreal team’s best chance to score came in the 13th minute of the game. Bryce Duke played a great pass to Sunusi Ibrahim, but Charlotte’s goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina didn’t want to give the opponent anything.
Montreal then had a free-kick on the edge of the box early in the second half, but Gabriele Cordo couldn’t find the goal.
Head coach Hernan Losada’s men will be back in action in a week and host New York City FC.
