Djordje Mihailovic scored a goal for CF Montréal in the 85th minute in the Eastern Conference semifinals in the 2022 MLS playoffs. Down 3-0, the goal wasn't noteworthy as NYCFC advances to the Eastern Conference final 3-1 at Stade Saputo.
The game was the franchise's first home playoff loss after winning the first 5 home MLS playoff games. This was only the second loss for Club de Foot Montréal in the last 17 games, playoffs included.
NYCFC, the #3 seed, advances to Philadelphia to play the Union next Sunday.
Miahilovic also scored a goal in the CF Montréal playoff win against Orlando City SC. Ismaël Koné scored the only regulation goal in last week's playoff game.
The playoff win was the first for CF Montréal since 2016 and the first for any Canadian MLS team since the 2019 Eastern Conference final for Toronto FC.
Wilfried Nancy should get a lot of votes for the MLS coach of the year with the work he did for this franchise.
We noted in our coverage that the Club de Foot Montréal will look very different. There will even be a new logo for the 2023 team.

ESPN's Adrian Healey referred to Montréal as the "capital of french speaking Quebec" in both ESPN telecasts. This sentence makes sense to an anglophone audience. Quebec City is the capital of Quebec and is objectively more French than Montréal. Not saying right or wrong to Healey's comment. Would be an intriguing debate.
