CF Montréal booked their spot in the 2026 Canadian Championship semifinals, advancing 4-2 on aggregate over Canadian Premier League side Vancouver FC.
Montréal, who won the second leg 2-1 at Stade Saputo Sunday night, will face either Vancouver Whitecaps FC or CPL side Cavalry FC in the two-legged semifinal.
The Whitecaps lead that aggregate series, 4-1, heading into Leg 2 on Monday at ATCO Field.
After taking the opening leg 2-1 at Willoughby Stadium on Wednesday night, Montréal played the second half down a man after Efraín Morales was sent off for his second bookable offense in the 43rd minute.
Still, Brandan Craig put the Bleu-blanc-noir ahead on a perfectly placed free kick from 22 yards out in the 56th minute.
Daniel Ríos doubled the advantage, chipping Vancouver goalkeeper Callum Irving from distance on a quick counterattack 12 minutes later.
Morey Doner pulled Vancouver back a goal in the 79th minute
Montréal are seeking their sixth Voyageurs Cup title and first since 2021. This year's winner qualifies for the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup.
