Former Kenyan international Victor Wanyama made his second consecutive start for his club, CF Montreal, on Sunday morning as they beat Atlanta United 1-0 in a Major League Soccer match played at the Saputo Stadium.Wanyama, who was named in the starting XI last week against Vancouver, featured for 70 minutes as team captain, before being taken off for Duke Bryce.##NAJAVA_MECA_8210017##The match was decided by a Ruan Teixeira header in the 51st minute. Four minutes after going ahead, Atlanta United were reduced to ten men when Stian Gregersen was given his marching orders, giving Montreal a numerical advantage.However, they failed to capitalize on this to score more goals, which left coach Laurent Courtois fuming despite picking up maximum points from the game.”The truth is, it hurts tonight, I am really disappointed,” he said in his post-match interview. “For us to give Atlanta the opportunity to hurt us, that’s unacceptable — in terms of collective management and especially in the ego of some of us who forgot what point in the match we were in, what point in the season we are in. I was very disappointed on that level.”Seven FKF Premier League coaches risk losing their jobs ahead of new campaignHe also appeared to take a swipe at some unnamed players for wanting to take glory by being selfish in front of goal.”You want to force things just because you want to be the main character to score, you want to be the protagonist, the hero when we need to win, not you to score your goal,” Courtois said.”It was frustrating for me that we were more busy forcing something that was not there, when we could have killed when it was obvious, and then giving the opposition opportunities that were not there in the first place.”The win lifts Montreal to tenth on the log with 26 points after 23 Major League Soccer games. Their next game is against the New York Red Bulls on Thursday.Sofapaka CEO Ronald Okoth 100% sure of preserving top-flight status
