New York City FC and CF Montreal will battle for three points in an MLS Eastern Conference clash on Saturday (May 10th). The game will be played at the Yankee Stadium.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 loss away to Pittsburgh in the US Open Cup. They were reduced to 10 men in the 78th minute when Strahinja Tanasijevic was sent off and late substitute Roberto Ydrach scored the match-winner deep into injury time.
The Pigeons will shift their attention to the league, where their last game saw them claim a 1-0 home win over FC Cincinnati thanks to Julian Fernandez's early strike.
