HARRISON, N.J.—Noah Eile scored his first MLS goal in the 67th minute, Carlos Miguel Coronel had five saves and the New York Red Bulls beat CF Montreal 1–0 on Saturday night.
Eile, a 6-foot-5 22-year-old defender, went up high for a header off a corner kick played in by Omar Valencia that slipped inside the back post to give the Red Bulls (4–3–3) a 1–0 lead.
Montreal (0–7–3) has scored four goals this season, the fewest in MLS, and has been shut out seven times — including each of the last three games. The club’s minus-10 goal differential is tied for worst in the league with the only other remaining winless team, and the defending MLS Cup champions, the LA Galaxy.
Owen Graham-Roache made his MLS debut when he replaced Prince Owusu to begin the second half for Montreal. The 17-year-old homegrown finished with one shot on target.
The Red Bulls, who had 58.5 percent possession but didn’t record a shot on goal in the first half, immediately applied pressure in the second half, putting five shots on net — four in the first five minutes — before Eile opened the scoring.
Sébastian Breza had five saves for Montreal.
Coronel has four shutouts this season.
