Montreal Roses

Match report

Montreal Rose beat Halifax Tide 1:0 in their National Super League regular-season clash on Friday evening. The result leaves the hosts sitting second in the table with seventeen points from seventeen games, while Halifax drop further back in fifth place on twenty-one points after eighteen outings.

The match opened with a cautious rhythm, neither side eager to show their hand. Julianne Rita Marie Vallerand picked up a yellow card in the fifty-fourth minute, a warning that the physicality was already building. By then Montreal had already brought on Amandine Pierre-Louis for the first change at the interval.

And here's the thing — the game shifted shape in the sixty-eighth minute. Sheyenne Allen collected a second yellow card and was sent off, leaving Halifax to finish the hour a man down. Chloe Minas and Megane Sauve had both seen yellow earlier in that same period, and the numerical disadvantage came at a critical juncture.

Montreal held their nerve and took their chance. Anne-Valerie Seto found the net in the seventy-sixth minute, a moment that mattered more than anything that came before. Halifax threw everything at it after the red card, but the visitors never quite got out of second gear to find an equaliser.

By then the result was clear enough. Montreal moved closer to the top four, extending a run that included a draw with Calgary and a win over Toronto. Halifax's defeat ended a streak of three unbeaten games — a 1:0 win over Montreal earlier in August, a draw with Ottawa, and a victory against Vancouver.
