New York Red Bulls (12-12-7, 43 pts.) defeated CF Montreal (5-17-9, 24 pts.) on Saturday evening at Stade Saputo.

The Red Bulls opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, when captain Emil Forsberg whipped in a corner that found the head of Kyle Duncan, who guided the ball towards the back post and defender Tim Parker knocked it in the back of the net.

New York doubled their lead in the 29th minute, when defender Marcelo Morales took a throw-in and found forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who dribbled past a Montreal defender and put a left-footed shot past the Montreal goalkeeper.

Parker scored his first MLS goal of the season and the seventh of his MLS career. It was his second career MLS goal for New York.

Duncan tallied his fifth MLS assist of the season, which is now a new single-season career high for the defender.

Duncan has now recorded 21 assists across all competitions for New York, which is the most in franchise history by a defender.

Forsberg tallied his 10th MLS assist of the season and the 15th of his MLS career.

Forsberg became the fifth player in franchise history to record 10-plus goals and assists in a single MLS season and the first since Thierry Henry in 2014. It is the seventh time a player has accomplished that feat.

Choupo-Moting tallied his 16th MLS goal of the season, which ranks tied for seventh in MLS.

Midfielder Gustav Berggren and Morales both made their first career MLS starts in tonight's match.

Goalkeeper Carlos Coronel recorded his 10th MLS clean sheet of the season and the 45th of his MLS career.

Coronel became the second Red Bulls goalkeeper in franchise history to record 10-plus MLS clean sheets in multiple seasons.
