May 3, 2025; Montreal, Province of Quebec, CAN; CF Montreal defender Tom Pearce (3) and Philadelphia Union forward Tai Baribo (9) head the ball simultaneously during the first half at Saputo Stadium. Mandatory Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images Mikael Uhre scored the eventual match-winning goal in the 84th minute as the visiting Philadelphia Union defeated CF Montreal 2-1 on Saturday night.
Uhre, who entered as a second-half substitute with just over 15 minutes remaining, scored his second goal of the season for the Union (7-3-1, 22 points), who have won three matches in a row.
Montreal (0-8-3, 3 points) snapped a three-match goalless streak in MLS play, but has lost back-to-back outings in the league campaign.
Uhre’s goal came after Jovan Lukic dispossessed Montreal’s Mahala Opuku with Montreal looking to advance the ball forward.
Lukic’s inch-perfect pass found Uhre, whose attempt came off the hands of CF Montreal goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois (two saves) and into the back of the net to make it 2-1.
Philadelphia opened the scoring in the second minute through Indiana Vassilev, who received a pass from Danley Jean Jacques just outside the scoring area and struck it first-time past Sirois for a 1-0 lead. It was Vassilev’s first goal of the season.
Montreal, though, pulled level just before the halftime break as a Dante Sealy pass into the box found its way through a host of bodies, deflected off a Union player, and found the feet of Giacomo Vrioni.
The Albanian international’s close-range shot then beat Union goalkeeper Andre Blake (two saves) to make it 1-1. It was Vrioni’s first goal of the MLS season and his second in as many matches across all competitions.
Montreal had control of the match for most of the second half as it sought to pull ahead. In the 80th minute, it saw a possible foul in the box against the Union ruled to not be a penalty, a call eventually confirmed after a VAR check.
But the Union ultimately came out in front as Uhre’s goal proved to be the winner. Philadelphia has outscored its opponents 7-1 during its win streak.

Stars’ playoff monster Mikko Rantanen has been unlocked: ‘Mikko put the team on his back’
DALLAS — Imagine someone pulling Mikko Rantanen aside during training camp in Denver back in September and dropping this kind of crystal ball nonsense to him.“Hey Mikko, you’re going to score a hat trick in Game 7 … for the Dallas Stars to beat out the Colorado Avalanche.’’Say what?“I think I would have left the room in disbelief,’’ Rantanen said with a smile on Saturday night. “But yeah, for sure I would have not believed it had someone told me that.’’AdvertisementNever mind traded to Carolina in between all that.“Yeah, difficult year personally, you know, mentally tough overall,’’ Rantanen continued. “Getting traded twice — it’s not fun ever to get traded even once, but twice in a season. But I got to thank everyone here in Dallas. Everybody who works for the team, obviously the players and coaches, massage therapist, every […]
Carli Lloyd apologizes to USWNT teammates in vulnerable National Soccer Hall of Fame speech
Former U.S. women’s national team star Carli Lloyd was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame on Saturday. In her speech, the two-time World Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist acknowledged the cost of success and apologized to her former teammates for being distant.“I wasn’t there to make friends or follow the crowd. I was there to push myself to the very top while helping my team win championships. That drive often meant keeping people at a distance,” Lloyd said, donning her new red Hall of Fame blazer. “I avoided unnecessary drama. I rarely showed weakness, and vulnerability wasn’t something I allowed myself to express. I wouldn’t say I have regrets, but if there is one thing I do wish, I wish I had let more people understand me over the years.Advertisement“I operated like an emotionless machine. I was […]

Bola de Cristal indica primeira derrota do Flamengo no Brasileirão para o Cruzeiro
Neste domingo, o Cruzeiro recebe o Flamengo no Mineirão às 18h30, buscando sua quarta vitória no campeonato. De acordo com cálculos da Bola de Cristal do Brasileirão, ferramenta desenvolvida pelo GLOBO em parceria com o Departamento de Matemática da UFMG, o time mandante tem 42,9% de probabilidade de sair com os três pontos. O cálculo considera que, nas três vitórias do Cruzeiro no Brasileirão, a equipe jogou em casa e até agora tem 100% de aproveitamento como mandante. Como o Flamengo tem dois triunfos e um empate como visitante, a estatística pesa a favor do time mineiro. Vale lembrar que a conta é feita com base apenas nos jogos da Série A, e não leva em conta os resultados de outras competições. Mesmo assim, o time comandado por Filipe Luís aparece com boas chances de vencer o duelo, com 34% […]

Gregg Popovich’s influence at the heart of Warriors-Rockets coaching matchup
SAN FRANCISCO — When Ime Udoka saw Gregg Popovich calling his phone Friday, hours before his Houston Rockets would take on the Golden State Warriors in a win-or-go-home Game 6 in their fierce first-round series, he already knew the nature of his mentor’s message.Or so he thought.The world had finally learned what Udoka had known weeks before, that Popovich’s medical issues that began with a stroke in November had forced him to cut his legendary coaching career with the San Antonio Spurs short after 29 seasons. He would be transitioning to a role as the team’s president of basketball operations alongside his longtime friend and front office executive R.C. Buford. The Spurs also announced that Mitch Johnson, who was part of Popovich’s staff as an assistant before taking over in his absence, would have the interim tag removed from his […]
