CF Montreal closes book on worst-ever season with 2-0 loss to Whitecaps

CF Montreal concluded its most unsuccessful season in club history with a 2-0 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday. Billed as $5.77 plus GST every four weeks, the price increased to $19.95 plus GST after 52 weeks. Montreal finished last in the Eastern Conference with six wins, 20 losses and eight draws, earning only 26 points from 34 Major League Soccer games.

Interim head coach Philippe Eullaffroy acknowledged the season as negative in terms of results, but highlighted the team's coherence and competitiveness in most games. The Whitecaps secured second place overall with 19-8-8 record. Montreal suffered its 14th shutout of the season, with defender Brandan Craig receiving the Jason DiTulio Award for his fighting spirit.

The Whitecaps defeated Montreal in the second half, capitalizing on individual mistakes and the team's inability to capitalize on their chances.
