Noah Eile scores 1st MLS goal, Coronel has 5 saves to help Red Bulls beat Montreal 1-0
Eile, a 6-foot-5 22-year-old defender, went up high for a header off a corner kick played in by Omar Valencia that slipped inside the back post to give the Red Bulls (4-3-3) a 1-0 lead.
Montreal (0-7-3) has scored four goals this season, the fewest in MLS, and has been shut out seven times — including each of the last three games. The club's minus-10 goal differential is tied for worst in the league with the only other remaining winless team, and the defending MLS Cup champions, the LA Galaxy.
Owen Graham-Roache made his MLS debut when he replaced Prince Owusu to begin the second half for Montreal. The 17-year-old homegrown finished with one shot on target.
The Red Bulls, who had 58.5% possession but didn't record a shot on goal in the first half, immediately applied pressure in the second half, putting five shots on net — four in the first five minutes — before Eile opened the scoring.
Sébastian Breza had five saves for Montreal.
Coronel has four shutouts this season.

New Canadiens Projected Top-Six Has Interesting Look
Recently, the NHL's official Facebook account shared what they believe each Atlantic Division club's top six will be heading into the 2025-26 season. This, of course, includes the Montreal Canadiens. For the Canadiens' first line, they unsurprisingly have Nick Suzuki centering wingers Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky. This is certainly what should be the Canadiens' first line next season, as this trio has formed incredible chemistry. Furthermore, Slafkovsky should only continue to improve playing on a line with two legitimate stars in Suzuki and Caufield. Yet, things get more interesting when it comes to the second line. The Canadiens will have multiple different options to consider for this trio, but sees the Habs going with Kirby Dach as their 2C, with Patrik Laine and Ivan Demidov as his wingers. The possibility of this trio being the Canadiens' second line is certainly there, but there are other players who should compete for a spot in Montreal's top six. Off-season addition Zack Bolduc is undoubtedly the most notable omission from this projected top six. When noting that the young winger took a big step forward this past season, he certainly could get a shot on Montreal's second line over a player like Laine. Furthermore, the possibility of Alex Newhook or even Jake Evans landing the 2C spot instead of Dach should also not be ruled out. Nevertheless, the Canadiens certainly have some different options to consider with their top six for this upcoming season. It will be fascinating to see if the NHL's projected top six for the Habs ends up being what they go with. Canadiens Important Defender Facing Big Year The 2025-26 season is a big year for Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson.

Messi could join Argentina for two matches in September if hamstring holds up
Lionel Messi and his new Inter Miami teammate Rodrigo De Paul have been called up by the Argentine national team for their final two World Cup qualifying matches in early September. Argentina, the defending World Cup champions, has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Messi, 38, has not yet declared he will play in the World Cup. But his upcoming reunion with the national team could be noteworthy. Watch MLS games all season long on Apple TV Argentina will host Venezuela on Sept. 4 at Mâs Monumental in Buenos Aires, which could be Messi's last match in his beloved home country for the foreseeable future. Argentina will visit Ecuador on Sept. 9. It's unclear whether Argentina will host any matches next year in the leadup to the World Cup, held June 11, 2026 to July 19, 2026. Messi will turn 39 years old on June 24, 2026. Messi has been eager to return from a recent right hamstring injury. He scored a goal with an assist in Inter Miami's last match against L.A. Galaxy, a 3-1 win on Aug. 16, but was seen stretching his hamstring at multiple points in his appearance off the bench in the second half. 'He clearly wasn't 100% comfortable,' Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said of Messi after the match. 'Now, the reality is that as the minutes went by, he loosened up a little bit more. We'll have to see how he ended up in terms of fatigue.' Messi and De Paul, who joined Inter Miami last month, were listed on a preliminary roster by Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni on Monday, Aug. 18. The Inter Miami teammates have at least three matches to play before they rejoin the national team. Inter Miami will host Tigres on Aug. 20 in the Leagues Cup quarterfinals. Inter Miami also has two regular season matches: at D.C. United on Aug. 23, and home against the Chicago Fire on Aug. 30. If Inter Miami advances in the Leagues Cup, the semifinals would be played on Aug. 26 or 27, while the final and third-place matches are set for Aug. 31. Messi was scoreless with Argentina in two matches earlier this year: He came off the bench in a 1-0 road win against Chile on June 5, and played 78 minutes in a 1-1 draw against Colombia on June 10. The last time Messi scored with Argentina, he had a hat trick and two assists in a 6-0 victory over Bolivia on Oct. 15, 2024.
