CF Montréal are moving on to the 2023 Canadian Championship semi-finals after defeating bitter rivals Toronto FC 2-1 at BMO Field.
Hernan Losada’s side put on a comprehensive showing in their eventual victory, with Zachary Brault-Guillard getting the scoring party started by finishing off a powerful counter-attack off a turned over free kick on the other end of the field. Then, four minutes later and just moments before half-time, Mathieu Choiniere delivered an inch-perfect cross to Chinonso Offor, who placed his effort easily past Sean Johnson for Montréal’s second.
A Lorenzo Insigne strike cut Montréal’s lead in half, though it did look dubiously offside from the initial angle, but may have been just slightly behind Richie Laryea when the pass was made.
Regardless, it would matter not in the end as Montréal cruised to victory with a comfortable second half showing, marked by resolute defensive play to give their head coach a birthday to remember.
Montréal now faces Forge FC of Hamilton for the third year running in the next round of the Canadian Championship, having eliminated Toronto FC earlier on than usual in this competition.

Yawn.
Toronto in the mud.
Their stadium is half empty for the Canadian classique, they lose at home and their supporters attack the travelling Montréal fans in the stands.
All of that while having the two biggest stars in MLS on their roster.
Truly a pathetic club 😂
Ssiiiiii muy bien Montereal
Insigne's goal was offside by a mile. Canada Soccer really needs to get in the 21st century and implement VAR…
Ahhahahahha 😂😂😂 nice win mtl🔵⚪️⚫️
Quito missed 2 big chances, first too slow to get a chip and 2nd to the sky when he should have belted it low. Nevertheless, nice to see MTL reclaiming some spots in the table and building up confidence in tournaments. Hopeful they'll smash Toronto twice in 1 week.
3 former CPL players featured in the Montreal starting 11. So happy with the progress made by our young league.
TFC played a very inspiring game, so proud of Bob and Bill creating this team, they certainly represent Toronto very well
What a effort from ZBG to block Insigne’s shot on one end, run across the field, find the loose ball, and put it in the back of the net
The attendance is so low because we live in Trudeaus Canada.
What a joke of a game and a joke of a league. Tfc can’t go any lower in mediocrity.
I saw the goal offside for Toronto too…like so many in North America
This has to be the most embarrassing 2 seasons in TFC history.
Marshall-Rutty used his hand in the buildup to TFC’s goal
Big win for CF Montreal in the Derby. Let's go CFM!! 💪💪🔵
Quel beau centre du gauche de mathieu Choiniere waoh !
pourquoi matt hedges ne joue pas depuis 2 ou 3 match ? blessure ?
Damn Toronto fans salty as fuck. The Montreal fans here, on the other hand, seem to be very positive and all around good winners. See you in the final!
Allez Montréal!
TO FC disgrace to your fans.
Bob Bradley gotta go
Toronto needs a couple of players to strengthen it down the middle!
TORONTO PACK
Спасибо за ставку Монреаль 👍
