CF Montréal has won five of its eight all time matches against the Sounders in MLS (D1 L2). Montreal is the only team to win more than half of its games against the Sounders among teams Seattle has played more than five times.
The Sounders have won five of their last seven matches (D1 L1) following a 3-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, the club’s third clean sheet in its last six games. Seattle hasn’t kept consecutive clean sheets in MLS play in over a year, since May 2021 shutout wins over San Jose and LAFC.
CF Montréal’s win over Charlotte was its eighth victory of the season and took it to 26 points on the season. Montreal has only had more wins or points at this stage of one season, reaching 30 points and nine wins after 16 games in 2013.
Alex and Cristian Roldan each earned an assist on Will Bruin’s opening goal against Sporting on Saturday. They became the third pair of brothers to record an assist on the same goal after DaMarcus and Jamar Beasley for Chicago in 2001 and Chris and Sean Henderson for Colorado in 1997.
CF Montréal used early goals in both halves to beat Charlotte, 2–1, on Saturday, including a 47th minute strike by Mathieu Choinière as the eventual game winner. Choinière’s goal marked the fifth time Montreal has scored in the opening two minutes of a half this season, most in MLS in 2022.
