MONTREAL (AP) — Matías Cóccaro came on in place of Ariel Lassiter in the 62nd minute and scored in the 79th for CF Montreal on Saturday night in a 1-1 tie with the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Ruan Gregorio Gregorio Teixeira — known simply as “Ruan” — chipped a perfectly-placed entry to the center of the area, where Cóccaro headed home the finish. Cóccaro, who has four goals this season, scored for the first time since the 29-year-old rookie netted two goals in a 4-3 loss to the Chicago Fire on March 16.
