WASHINGTON — CF Montreal is back from a week off and on the road again as their Major League Soccer season-opening trip continues Saturday against D.C. United.

Montreal is coming off its first loss of the young MLS season, a wild 4-3 decision to Chicago Fire on March 15.

Sparked by a red card to Montreal wingback Raheem Edwards, Chicago erased a 3-1 deficit with three late goals. Kellyn Acosta scored the injury-time winner with a kick from half that sailed over goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois to cap the windy day in Illinois.

Montreal heads into Saturday’s matchup with two wins, one draw and one loss under first-year head coach Laurent Courtois. Newcomers Josef Martinez, Matias Coccaro and Dominic Iankov have all made an impact to start the year. Coccaro leads the team with three goals.
