Audi Field saw goals flying in from all angles on Saturday, 23 May 2026, as DC United and CF Montréal shared the points in a wild 4-4 draw. The home side raced into a 2-1 lead by half-time, looking to be in control after a bright start, only for the visitors to come storming back in the second half. Montréal had the better of the play in terms of territory, edging possession, but this was a game built on chances rather than control, with both defences leaving plenty of gaps to exploit. DC United actually finished the sharper of the two sides in front of goal, putting 10 of their 18 shots on target compared to Montréal's 8 from 22, and six corners to their opponents' four suggested a team that kept pushing forward even after conceding twice. In the end neither goalkeeper could find any peace, and honours were even. For DC United, it's a result that will sting given the lead they surrendered, while Montréal will take plenty of confidence from digging out a point on the road.
The Matchup
It finished 4-4 between DC United and CF Montréal at Audi Field, a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with DC United holding 44% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. There were spells of pressure from both teams, but not enough to turn a share of the points into all three. Days like this are part of a long season, and how each side responds in their next fixture will say plenty about their form heading forward. Here is a closer look at how the two teams compared statistically.
