CF Montreal beats HFX Wanderers, advance to Canadian Championship semifinals - Sportsnet.ca

Matko Miljevic and Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla, who turned in a Man of the Match performance with two goals, scored for the 2019 champions CF Montreal.While many expected the home side to sit back and defend, Halifax was not so complacent. It pressed Montreal and enjoyed a significant amount of possession in the opposing half.

Montreal then turned up the heat and — in the 35th minute — Miljevic made up for his earlier blunder up by smashing the ball into the top of the net. A scampering run by Zorhan Bassong followed by a clever ball to Miljevic’s foot set up the equalizer. It also saw the inclusion of Tabla for the first time since Oct. 25 of last year. The homegrown forward had yet to feature this season due to a nagging groin injury.

As the game wound on, Halifax started to come out of its defensive set. That ended up costing the Wanderers as Tabla fired a shot into the top corner from a Zachary Brault-Guillard cross just as full time expired.
