Luca Petrasso scored late in the first half to help CF Montreal extend its point streak to three matches with a 1-1 draw against visiting D.C. United on Saturday.
It's the first time this season that Montreal (4-15-8, 20 points) has earned points in three straight.
D.C. (4-15-8, 20 points) snapped a five-match losing streak but remains winless in its past 10 (0-8-2).
Petrasso pulled Montreal level in the 41st minute. Caden Clark deflected a pass attempt by D.C. defender Aaron Herrera, creating a rush with Prince Owusu. Owusu maintained possession of the ball inside the top of the box and then sent a feed to Petrasso, who put it by the right arm of goalkeeper Luis Barraza on the near side.
Jackson Hopkins gave D.C. a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute. The 21-year-old kept pace with a bouncing ball high in the attacking third, catching up with it at the arc before firing a right-foot strike past the outstretched arm of goalkeeper Thomas Gillier.
Owusu appeared to put the hosts in front 2-1 in the 58th minute when Petrasso repaid the favor with a feed to the German striker deep inside the box, but the offside flag was raised, nullifying the goal.
Jared Stroud came within inches of putting D.C. back in front late in the second half, taking a pass from Herrera near the spot in the 85th minute, but his attempt rolled just wide of the left post.
D.C. had the better of the chances and spent more time in the final third early on but couldn't convert.
Montreal started to find its game as the half progressed and had one of its best chances in the 37th minute off a free kick opportunity, but Barraza dived to get his hand on the ball to punch it away. Then, seconds later, Hennadii Synchuk put one over the net.
Montreal defender Jalen Neal returned from injury as a substitute late in the second half, his first appearance since June 25.
