    Not real happy Redejovic picked up a yellow in the first 5 minutes. He's fun to watch and aggressive but that is also scary when he has another 85 minutes to go (or until subbed if he makes it without picking up a second yellow).

    OH NO! A Cuypers injury would end his streak...
    Really hoping he can continue the match and the streak!
    A goal for him today would make him a shoe in for the AllStar recognition...

    Montreal attempts to break our Cuypers.

    Nope, he's up and moving about.

    My astute analytical soccer knowledge leads me to the observation that this #4 fella is a solid defender.

    Not good seeing Pineda down. Borso can do anything.

    As much as I loved Rado's lead pass to MHS, dude needs to adjust his play or we will end this playing with 10...

    Agree. Passes like that get players more playing time and make coaches more patient.

    Only 5 players have scored a goal for the Fire:
    Cuypers -12
    Zinckernagel -5
    MHS -3
    Bamba -2
    Lod -2

    We could use a bit more diversity in goal scoring.

    Weird shot by Cuypers, after stumbling over the ball.
    Forces a save from the Montreal keeper.

    I like pie.
    Not so much for Piette.


    He has been with Montreal since 2017!
    Do not see that type of longevity in MLS.

    This has been a lively match on a very, very lazy afternoon.

    First shot on goal for Montreal.

    Nice adjustment by Waterman to drop back and cover for TLB when he pushed up, and lost it.

    Four minutes of extra time?

    Well, the attempt to break Cuypers took a while.

    Bad decision by TLB- trying a 1 on 3 fast break!. Fire were fortunate.

    Bad, bad foul by MHS.
    Well, not much of a foul but in a bad, bad spot, just outside the penalty box
