Wanyama in as ten-man Montreal see off Chicago

Kenyan star, Victor Wanyama featured for 90 minutes as his side CF Montreal overcame Chicago 2-0 in a Major Soccer League (MLS) game staged at the Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois on Sunday morning.Montreal had to fight a man down to pick maximum points from the game after Canadian midfielder Ismael Ikone who had bagged the opener was sent off for a second booking just before the interval.##NAJAVA_MECA_6596483##Ikone opened the scoring in the 19th minute when the youngster was given time and space at the edge of the area, he took full advantage of it beating the Chicago keeper with a well-taken shot. Romell Quito continued to rise his profile with yet another goal. He scored straight from a freekick five minutes later to double his side’s advantage.Chicago were handed a lifeline when Ikone, who has been linked with a move to English football was sent for a halftime shower after receiving two cautions. But despite showing massive improvement after the interval for being a man heavier, the hosts could not break down Montreal and in the end, the visitors left with maximum points.“We moved the ball too slow. We got away from moving the ball quickly and we talked at halftime that if we move the ball quickly because we have an extra man, there will always be an open guy. But still, we were getting the ball and taking three, or five seconds on the ball instead of moving the ball. That killed us,” Chicago coach Ezra Hendrickson lamented.24′ GOLAZOOOOOOQUIOTOOOOOOROMANTICOOOOO#CHIvMTL | 0-2 | #CFMTL pic.twitter.com/FuE5eAOeTX— CF Montréal (@cfmontreal) August 28, 2022 The match appeared to be the final one for Montreal midfielder, Djordje Mihailovic.
