Montreal beats New York City FC 1-0 on Victor Loturi's goal to net first home win
Montreal (3-12-5) completed the season sweep over New York (8-7-4) for the first time ever.
Dante Sealy found himself isolated with a defender on the right side of the 18-yard box and he sent in a powerful shot that was spilled to Loturi for a one-touch finish. It was Loturi's first goal for the club.
Montreal had two other good opportunities to double the lead in the second half.
Luca Petrasso was left unmarked in front of the goal following a corner kick, but he was unable to control the bouncing ball. Moments later, Jules-Anthony Vilsaint was denied by a fingertip save from Tomas Romero.
Jonathan Sirois secured his fourth clean sheet of the season.
Montreal will face Inter Miami on July 5 if the Florida side is eliminated from the Club World Cup.

Indiana's Curt Cignetti takes swipe at SEC amid questions around schedule
The Indiana Hoosiers finished 11-2 and made an appearance in the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history last season and are looking to build upon that success in 2025. The Hoosiers start the season with Old Dominion, Kennesaw State and Indiana State before Big Ten Conference play begins against Illinois on Sept. 20. However, the Hoosiers' schedule was the topic of conversation during Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday. Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignetti talked about why the school canceled a home-and-home series against the Virginia Cavaliers and took a swipe at the SEC in the process. "That was a scheduling philosophy that began before I was hired. But I did sign off on it upon being hired, before our first season," he said, via On3 Sports. "Look, here's the bottom line – we picked up an extra home game, and we play nine conference games. "The two best conferences in college football – any football guy that's objective will tell you – is the Big Ten and the SEC. Twelve of the 16 SEC teams play three G5 (Group of 5) or an FCS game. Twelve of those teams play 36 games – 29 G5 games and seven FCS games, and one less conference game. So we figured we'd just adopt SEC scheduling philosophy. Some people don't like it. I'm more focused in on those nine conference games." Cignetti continued to breakdown the scheduling in an effort to back Big Ten schools who may be worthy of an automatic qualifier for the expanded College Football Playoff. "You want to put the best teams in the playoff? Give the best leagues the (automatic qualifiers), but make them earn it with play-in games," Cignetti added. "And we wouldn't be opposed to Big Ten-SEC regular season games every year. "We need to standardize the schedule across the board if we want to have objective criteria for who should be in the playoffs and who shouldn't, and we need to take the decision-making off the committee to some degree." The Hoosiers are set to take the field with Fernando Mendoza under center. Omar Cooper Jr., who had 21.2 yards per reception, is set to return as well.

Terry McLaurin skips start of Commanders training camp, placed on Reserve/Did Not Report List as WR seeks a new deal
Terry McLaurin is officially holding out. The Washington Commanders wide receiver missed a conditioning drill at the start of training camp on Tuesday and has since been placed on the Reserve/Did Not Report List. All other Commanders players were present for the drill, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. McLaurin's absence signals the start of a holdout as the two-time Pro Bowl receiver seeks a new contract. McLaurin is approaching the third year of a three-year, $68.4 million contract with an average annual salary of $22.8 million. Amid a surging market with multiple receivers making more than $30 million annually, McLaurin is reportedly seeking $30-plus million per season. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] McLaurin's also approaching his age-30 season in a league where elite performance after 30 years old at the position is not the norm. The Commanders want to retain McLaurin but are reportedly not close to meeting his desire for $30-plus million per season. What McLaurin, Commanders have said about negotiations Commanders general manager Adam Peters addressed McLaurin's status during a news conference earlier Tuesday. "Just like with all of our players, we're expecting everybody to be here today," Peters said of McLaurin. "Without a doubt, I think everybody in this building values Terry very much. ... "In terms of where we're at, we've had conversations recently, and we'll look to have some more conversations. And we're gonna do everything we can in order to get a deal done." McLaurin, who sat out mandatory minicamp, told reporters last week that he was "frustrated" by the lack of progress on a new contract and that he wants "to be here." "With how the market is today, it conveys what guys of my caliber are deserving of," McLaurin said, per ESPN. "I feel I fit in that box because of how I've carried myself on and off the field. "I don't want to feel like you have to beg for someone to see your worth and value. Everything in previous regimes, and now I've done everything asked of me." McLaurin's case for a new deal McLaurin is a six-season NFL veteran who's played his entire career with the Commanders. He's emerged as one of the most consistent and productive receivers in football with 1,000-plus receiving yards in each of the last five seasons. He's started each game he's played in his career and has never played fewer than 14 games in a season. He's started all 17 regular-season games in each of the last four seasons. He's remained a reliable producer despite a rotating cast under center in Washington as 11 different quarterbacks have started for the Commanders since he joined the franchise in 2019. For the first time in decades, the Commanders have stability at quarterback after the fast-track emergence of 2024 rookie Jayden Daniels, who earned Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl honors while leading the Commanders to the playoffs for the first time since 2020. McLaurin was Daniels' favorite target and saw his own production increase as the tandem repeatedly connected for big plays throughout the season. McLaurin finished 2024 with 82 catches for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns, by far the most of his career. He'd previously eclipsed five touchdowns in a season just once when he caught seven as a rookie. The stakes are high in Washington with expectations elevated for the second season of the Daniels era. McLaurin's seeking to leverage those stakes into a lucrative new deal.
