Sealy’s goal snaps Montreal’s scoring drought as visitors settle for 1-1 tie with Chicago Fire

By Canadian Press on March 29, 2025.

CHICAGO (AP) — Dante Sealy’s goal in the 51st minute allowed CF Montreal to pull a surprise and pick up a point on the road in a 1-1 Major League Soccer tie against the surging Chicago Fire on Saturday.

It was Sealy’s first goal in a Montreal uniform.

The Fire (3-1-2) entered having won three straight while Montreal (0-4-2) entered not having scored a goal in its last four games — three of which ended in defeat.

On Monday, Montreal fired former head coach Laurent Courtois and promoted assistant coach Marco Donadel to interim head coach two days after a 3-0 loss to Nashville SC.

Sealy ended the scoreless streak with a left-footed shot from the centre of the box taking a pass in the air from Luca Petrasso. Caden Clark was also credited with an assist.

The Fire took a 1-0 lead when Philip Zinckernagel found the back of the net with a left-footed shot from the centre of the box with assists from Andrew Gutman and Jonathan Bamba.
