MONTREAL - CF Montréal defeated Atlético de San Luis 3-2 on Tuesday in their second match of the Leagues Cup 2024 group stage.
The Montrealers took an early 2-0 lead thanks to British newcomer Tom Pearce (17') and Uruguayan Matías Cóccaro (27'), who scored within 10 minutes of each other. Pearce also scored an assist on his teammate's goal.
Franck Boli then reduced the visitors' lead (77'), beating Jonathan Sirois from the penalty spot before Sunusi Ibrahim scored what would become the winning goal in the 82nd minute.
Jürgen Damm added San Luis' second goal, also from the penalty spot, late in the game following an intervention by the assistant video referee (90'+13).
With three points in the bank, Montreal remain in the hunt for a place in the Leagues Cup play-off round. The Bleu-blanc-noir will know its future following Orlando's match against San Luis on Sunday August 4 at Inter&Co Stadium in Florida.
