Ahmed Hamdi was the hero of the match, scoring the tying goal in the 74th minute and the winning goal in the 87th. Mason Toye continued to display his offensive talent with a brace, his fifth and sixth goals of the season.
Joaquin Torres scored the other goal for CF Montreal (6-3-4), which registered a third straight victory and a first in four tries against the club from Ohio.
Torres, making his first start with the team, was CF Montreal s most dynamic player offensively.
With a little luck, he could have finished the game with at least three goals, as two of his shots hit the woodwork of Kenneth Vermeer s goal.
