He collected a loose ball inside the area, evaded one challenge, and went for the near post with his shot bouncing off the upright into the back of the net.Some fancy footwork from Miller eight minutes from time created space for the central defender to whip in a cross for Joaquin Torres to head home which proved to be the winning goal.Deuxième but avec Montréal pour @KMillz_00!THERE YOU GO KAMAL 💥👊#CFMTL pic.twitter.com/I5EaGqAVPP— CF Montréal (@cfmontreal) April 30, 2022 Montreal jumped Atlanta in the Eastern Conference standings, moving into a fourth-place tie with Orlando City.
