Alexis Sánchez’s first start for CF Montreal ended in disappointment as the Canadian club lost 2-0 away to Philadelphia Union in the 23rd round of Major League Soccer.

The Chilean forward started for the first time since joining Montreal and remained on the field until the 79th minute, when Noah Streit replaced him. He finished the match still searching for his first goal for the club.

The game was scoreless at halftime. Danley Jean Jacques broke the deadlock for Philadelphia in the 57th minute, before Montreal was handed a major chance to equalize from the penalty spot. Prince Owusu’s weak effort was saved by goalkeeper Andre Blake.

Philadelphia capitalized on the missed opportunity. Cavan Sullivan scored in the 75th minute, shortly before Sánchez left the field. Thomas Gillier remained on Montreal’s bench for the entire match, while the defeat extended the team’s poor run after its heavy 7-1 loss to Inter Miami.
