CF Montréal suffered a 4-0 defeat at the Galaxy on Monday, the seventh time in the club’s MLS history that its been defeated by a margin of four or more goals. It was Montreal’s first four-goal defeat since a 7-1 loss at Sporting Kansas City in March 2019.
Sporting Kansas City suffered its league-high 11th loss of the season on Sunday in a 1-0 defeat to the Red Bulls. Excluding 2020’s expanded playoff field, only four of the 42 teams that have lost 11 or more of its first 19 games of a season went on to make the playoffs.
Monday’s 4-0 defeat to the Galaxy was just the third time this season that CF Montréal have failed to score in a match this season. Only Austin, LAFC an цd New England (2 each) have been shut out less often than Montreal in 2022.
Despite its struggles all season, the last two games are the first time Sporting has gone consecutive league games without scoring in over three years, since May 2019. Kansas City hasn’t gone three straight games in a single season without a goal since June-July 2010, in Peter Vermes’ first full season in charge.
