CF Montreal is already playing catch-up in the Eastern Conference after failing to pick up even a solitary point in its first two games.
Yesterday Philadelphia became only the third visiting MLS club in history to win at The Big O. It was also only the second time Montreal has ever lost an MLS home opener, the previous occasion in 2014, when Seattle Sounders came, saw and conquered with goals by Lamar Neagle and Obafemi Martens.
That year, 2014, proved to be the worst on MLS record for Montreal. Frank Klopas’ team finished dead last in the East.
