Former Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama was included in the match day 30 Major League Soccer (MLS) Team of The Week after his invaluable goal contribution during the weekend helped his CF Montreal side book their first trip to the post-season since 2016 after a dramatic 2-2 comeback draw against the Columbus Crew on Saturday.In a match where Montreal trailed 0-2 at home by the 88th minute courtesy of goals from Jonathan Mensah and Lucas Zelarayan, Wanyama gave Montreal a comeback lifeline when he pulled one goal back in the 89th minute with a strike that would prove to be the impetus the team needed to fight back late on.89′ Victor qui dévie le tir de Matko et compte!@VictorWanyama 👊#MTLvCLB | 1-2 | #CFMTL pic.twitter.com/hJV4a8VP07— x – CF Montréal (@cfmontreal) September 10, 2022 In the fourth minute of added time, Zachary Brault-Guillard would find the second as he scored from outside of the box, surprising the Columbus goalkeeper to tie the score and send Stade Saputo into a frenzy as they salvaged a point in the dramatic match which saw them clinch a spot in the 2022 Audi MLS Cup.Following the result, CF Montréal became the second Eastern Conference team in the Audi 2022 MLS Cup Playoffs, continuing their remarkable rise under second-year head coach Wilfred Nancy, joining Los Angeles FC and the Philadelphia Union as three of 14 teams that’ll play postseason soccer come mid-October.Nancy’s side sits second in the East, on track for their best finish since the 2015 campaign and top regular-season performance since joining MLS in 2012.A year ago, Montréal finished two points outside the East’s playoff places in 10th place. They last made the postseason in 2020 (five total qualifications).MLS Cup 2022 is set for November 5, while the playoffs will get underway October 15 with Round One games (the top seed in each conference gets a bye).##NAJAVA_MECA_6634333##
