CF Montréal v NY Red Bulls
Parker, Choupo-Moting score as Red Bulls beat Montreal 2-0
MONTREAL -- - Tim Parker and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting each scored a goal, Carlos Miguel Coronel had six saves, and the New York Red Bulls beat the CF Montreal 2-0 Saturday night.
Coronel has 10 shut outs this season, tied with Charlotte's Kristijan Kahlina for second most in MLS. Vancouver's Yohei Takaoka has 13 shut outs.
New York (12-12-7) has 43 points this season, 10th in the Eastern Conference. The Red Bulls went into the match two points behind ninth-place Chicago for the final playoff spot.
Parker opened the scoring with a header from point-blank range in the 23rd minute. Emil Forsberg played a corner kick to the near post, Kyle Duncan went up high and flicked a header to Parker for the finish into a wide-open net.
It was Parker's first goal this seasons. The 32-year-old defender scored one goal in 79 appearances (73 starts) for New York from 2018-20 and helped the Red Bulls to the 2018 Supporters' Shield title.
Choupo-Moting won a throw-in, played by Marcelo Morales, from a pair of defenders at the left edge of the penalty area, patiently moved along the end line and rolled a shot from just inside the 6-yard box through the legs of goalkeeper Thomas Gillier and inside the back post to make it 2-0 in the 29th.
Gillier had three saves for Montreal (5-17-9). The 21-year-old has allowed at least one goal in each of his five starts this season.
