CF Montreal secured a commanding 3-0 victory over New York Red Bulls in MLS action on 8 March, exploiting a gulf in clinical finishing despite both sides deploying identical 4-2-3-1 formations. The visitors dominated the underlying metrics, generating 1.92 expected goals from ten shots compared to the hosts' 0.65 xG, with Montreal converting their opportunities ruthlessly through Wikelman Carmona's brace and contributions from Prince-Osei Owusu and Prince Owusu. Red Bulls created twelve attempts but managed only four on target, hamstrung by Montreal's resolute defending and their own profligacy in the final third. The home side's goalkeeper recorded a perfect 100 per cent save percentage, though this merely masked a performance where Montreal's superior shot quality proved decisive. Referee Sergiy Boyko oversaw proceedings without incident. Montreal's emphatic away win underscores their attacking potency this season.
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
