Prince Owusu scores twice, Montreal snaps 5-game winless skid by beating Dynamo 3-1

Jun 14, 2025 | 9:51 PM

HOUSTON (AP) — Prince Owusu scored two goals in a three-minute span, Jalen Neal added his first goal of the Major League Soccer season and CF Montreal beat the Houston Dynamo 3-1 on Saturday night.

Montreal (2-11-5) snapped a five-game winless streak during which the club was outscored 16-6.

Owusu nearly lost the ball while fighting off a defender near the penalty spot before he rolled a left-footer into the net in the 30th minute. Then, on the counterattack in the 32nd, Owusu slipped in front of defender Femi Awodesu and went up high for a header — off an arcing entry played in by Aleksandr Guboglo, the 18-year-old’s first assist in MLS — from the centre of the area that made it 2-0.

Neal made it 3-0 in the 54th minute. Tom Pearce played a free kick from near the right sideline to the back post, where Neal fought off a defender and then scored on a header from the edge of the six-yard box.

Ondřej Lingr scored on a header off a ball-in played by Nicolás Lodeiro in the 64th for Houston (5-8-5).
