FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (6-11-7; 25 pts.) fell to CF Montreal (4-15-6, 18 pts.), 3-1, on Friday night at Gillette Stadium. Tomás Chancalay put the Revolution in front three minutes into the contest, but the visitors stormed back with three goals to claim all three points in Foxborough.

The two sides started fast, trading goals in the opening 10 minutes. New England struck first, with Chancalay finishing off a through ball from Carles Gil into the bottom-left corner for his fourth goal of the season. Gil, who rejoined the squad on Thursday after a 30-minute shift in Wednesday's MLS All-Star Game, raised his total to a team-high eight assists on the campaign.

Montreal found the equalizer just six minutes later, as Prince Owusu collected a low cross from Dante Sealy in the middle of the box before turning and firing a shot into the roof of the goal. Sealy put the visitors ahead in the 37th minute, capping off a combination play at the top of the box with Caden Clark and Victor Loturi.

The Revs amped up the pressure to begin the second half, with Luca Langoni forcing a save from Montreal goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois just moments after halftime. Gil delivered New England's best chance of the second half, denting the cross bar with a shot from distance in the 70th minute.

Langoni and Chancalay combined for a pair of chances in the 84th minute, with the former seeing his shot cleared off the line before Chancalay had his subsequent effort deflected wide. Former Revolution II midfielder Olger Escobar, making his fourth appearance for Montreal, finished off the scoring with his first MLS goal in second-half stoppage time.

The Revolution are idle next weekend before resuming regular season action on Saturday, August 9 against D.C. United, the club's first Alumni Night. The 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff from Gillette Stadium will air on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV in English and Spanish. Listen on 98.5 The Sports Hub, Más Latino 99.9 FM / 1300 AM (Spanish), and 1260 AM Nossa Radio USA (Portuguese).
