Washington, D.C. - In its fourth road match of the season, CF Montréal drew 0-0 with D.C. United on Saturday evening at Audi Field.
Christian Benteke thought he had scored in the 27th minute, but the goal was disallowed after the video replay. Throughout the match, the Bleu-blanc-noir had chances to score, but failed to beat goalkeeper Kim Joon-Hong.
CF Montréal goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois earned the shutout after making seven saves during the match, bringing his season-to-date total to 22 (MLS leader).
LAURENT COURTOIS
"We're pleased to have unlocked our counter. We tried to be a little more aggressive in transition, and that's something we think we can improve on in the future. They gave their all, respecting the game plan and instructions, so we're satisfied, even if it's only a point tonight. It wasn't an easy game. There was a lot of physical play and intensity from D.C. United. The lads did a good job and showed personality with the ball."
DANTE SEALY
"I think we created some good chances tonight, but we were a little unlucky to manage to win the game. I think I had a good game. It was my first one and I tried to show my qualities. I'm an attacking player, so I like being able to help the team at this level."
GEORGE CAMPBELL
"(Benteke) is a big guy. During the week we talked about the attacking aspect of D.C. and how goals often come from crosses to Benteke. My job was to be physical. Even if I didn't win the ball, I wanted to stop him doing his job. We have to be hungry for points every game, and we can ask more of ourselves because we know how to play and we know how we want to play."
CF Montréal will play its next game at Nashville's Geodis Park on Saturday, March 22 at 8:30 p.m. EDT (MLS Season Pass, BPM Sports, CJAD 800).
