Kei Kamara’s second-half equalizer wiped out Julián Carranza’s first-half penalty as CF Montréal drew 1-1 against the Philadelphia Union Saturday afternoon at Subaru Park.
The Union remain unbeaten against Montréal in six games (3-0-3) and atop the Eastern Conference standings though the result leaves concerns about the team’s late-game prowess. The familiar opponents, who met seven weeks ago, felt each other out in the opening minutes with the Union seeing more of the ball against a Montréal side trying to play straight up while pushing a high line that the Union had trouble breaking. Other than a second minute José Martinez cross deep into the box that put Sebastian Breza on his toes with a diving punch to deny Nathan Harriel, neither side generated any scoring chances in the first ten minutes.
