New York Red Bulls vs CF Montreal

CF Montréal delivered a stunning 3-0 demolition of the New York Red Bulls at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Sunday, claiming their first win of the 2026 MLS season in emphatic fashion. It was a performance that flipped the early-season script on its head. Prince Owusu set the tone early, converting a penalty in the 8th minute to open Montréal's account for the campaign. Wikelman Carmona then haunted his former club with a strike just before half-time in the 44th minute, before adding his second in the 68th to put the result beyond doubt. The Carmona storyline was impossible to ignore — traded from the Red Bulls to Montréal just weeks ago, the Venezuelan midfielder made his old side pay with a clinical brace. Despite dominating possession at 68%, the hosts could not convert their territorial advantage into anything meaningful. For the Red Bulls, it is a first defeat after opening with two straight wins, and a reminder that control without cutting edge counts for nothing. Montréal, meanwhile, are off the mark and will travel home with belief that their season has finally sparked to life.
