2025-06-15 | Game Summary

CF Montréal delivered a surprising 3-1 victory against Houston Dynamo FC at Shell Energy Stadium in their MLS match on June 14, 2025. Houston dominated possession with 62.7%, but Montréal proved more clinical in attack. Prince Owusu's quickfire double in the 30th and 32nd minutes put Montréal in control, while Jalen Neal added a third in the 54th minute. Ondrej Lingr pulled one back for Houston in the 64th minute, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback.
Despite Houston's higher shot count (18 vs. 8), Montréal were far more accurate, landing 5 shots on target compared to Houston's 2. Both teams deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation. The match saw 13 fouls committed by Houston and 15 by Montréal. Houston picked up 3 yellow cards, while Montréal received 2. The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Houston Dynamo FC win, with a 51.1% win probability, making Montréal's victory an upset. The AI model did not expect a balanced game.
Analyzing recent form, Houston Dynamo FC have been inconsistent, mixing wins and losses, and lost their previous match against Sporting Kansas City 1-3. CF Montréal, on the other hand, have struggled lately, with multiple losses, including a heavy 6-1 defeat to Toronto FC, but this victory could be a turning point. Historically, recent head-to-head games have been closely contested.
Looking ahead, Houston Dynamo FC face Minnesota United FC away on June 25th. Minnesota are in decent form with some recent wins and draws, setting up a challenging match for Houston. CF Montréal will host FC Cincinnati on the same day. Cincinnati have also been struggling with consistency, which presents an opportunity for Montréal to build on this win and improve their form. Examining Houston's previous games indicates defensive vulnerabilities, while CF Montreal's games show their inability to hold the lead.
Considering the game's dynamics, the AI prediction was incorrect. Houston's inability to convert possession into goals and Montréal's clinical finishing were key factors in the result. This win could boost CF Montréal's confidence, while Houston will need to address their defensive issues before their next match.
