(AP Photo/Michael Wyke) HOUSTON (AP) — Prince Owusu scored two goals a three-minute span, Jalen Neal added his first goal of the 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.

Then, on the counter-attack 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 center 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 6-yard box. Ondřej Lingr scored on a header off a ball-in played by Nicolás Lodeiro in the 64th for Houston (5-8-5). The Dynamo have lost back-to-back games by a score of 3-1 following a four-game unbeaten streak that included three wins. Advertisement Houston had 56% possession and outshot Montreal 19-8. Jonathan Bond finished with two saves for the Dynamo. Jonathan Sirois stopped one shot for Montreal.

Toronto FC and CF Montreal renew their rivalry, with both teams in need of a win
Article content There is never a shortage of emotion when Toronto FC and CF Montreal square off, but TFC's penalty shootout loss to its rival in Telus Canadian Championship play April 30 adds to the spice level of Saturday's league meeting at Stade Saputo. Article content Article content The cup game at BMO Field saw Italian-born Albanian international Giacomo Vrioni score in the 89th minute to force the shootout as Montreal twice rallied from one-goal deficits. Goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois then took over, stopping Tyrese Spicer and Ola Brynhildsen as Montreal won the shootout 3-2. Article content 'It's nothing we've spoken about but I think everybody knows the Montreal-Toronto rivalry. And to play pretty well in that game, have two leads and end up losing it, I think that sticks in everyone's craw,' Toronto coach Robin Fraser said after training Friday. 'And it's just more fuel to the fire.' Article content Since the cup loss, injury-depleted Toronto has gone 1-2-0 in Major League Soccer play, compared to 1-1-1 for Montreal. Article content Toronto (2-7-4) stands 14th in the Eastern Conference, one place and three points above basement-dwelling Montreal (1-8-4). Article content Toronto is coming off a 1-0 loss Wednesday to Eastern Conference-leading FC Cincinnati and has won just one of its last five games in all competitions, a 1-4-0 run that includes the cup loss to Montreal. Article content Montreal tied visiting Columbus 1-1 midweek, conceding a 63rd-minute goal by Canadian Jacen Russell-Rowe after former Toronto player Luca Petrasso scored for Montreal. Columbus outshot Montreal 14-4 (4-2 in shots on target) and had 57.6 per cent of the possession. Article content Toronto recorded its first home win of the season last Saturday, 2-0 over D.C. United, while a goal by former Toronto forward Prince Owusu lifted Montreal to its first victory of the campaign, 1-0 at New York City FC. Article content Article content The NYCFC result snapped an 11-game winless streak (0-8-3) for Montreal, which played its first seven league games on the road. Head coach Laurent Courtois was fired March 24 with the club at 0-4-1 with assistant coach Marco Donadel, a former Montreal player, elevated to interim head coach. Article content 'I thin they really seem to have turned the corner since they've changed coaches,' said Fraser. 'They play with a lot of confidence. They've got some decent results and they're at home _ obviously in need of wins, like we are. Article content 'For us, we've had some really good moments this week. And, to be fair, even our bad moments weren't so bad. It was just not probably as sharp as it needed to be Wednesday. But I think we're both teams who are finding form. You throw in the rivalry, throw in where we both are in the table, I think it will be a pretty hotly contested game.' Article content Toronto is missing injured captain Jonathan Osorio, defenders Richie Laryea, Nicksoen Gomis, Raoul Petretta and Kobe Franklin, midfielder Markus Cimermancic and forward Deandre Kerr, although Fraser reports that Osorio (shoulder) and Laryea (hamstring) are progressing well.
