CF Montreal’s MLS playoff hopes come down to their final game of the regular season after a 2-0 win Wednesday over the Houston Dynamo.
A showdown Sunday against Orlando City SC — just two points ahead of Montreal — in the Eastern Conference will determine if Montreal continues into the post-season.
Rudy Camacho and Kamal Miller were the goalscorers Wednesday for Montreal (12-11-10).
Knowing a win kept them in control of their own destiny, Montreal came out of the gate swinging in an effort to take the lead early. Houston (6-16-12) appeared happy to sit back and absorb the pressure.

In a must win situation, CF Montreal defeated the Houston Dynamo FC 2-0 Wednesday night keeping their MLS playoff hopes alive. 1:06
While Montreal carried nearly 64 per cent of possession, they mustered just three shots on target, created mostly half-chances and did little to trouble Dynamo keeper Kyle Morton.
Montreal’s best chance of the half came six minutes before time. Sunusi Ibrahim found himself all alone in front of the Houston goal, only to let the Dynamo off the hook by sending the ball right into Morton’s waiting hands.
In the 51st minute, Griffin Dorsey nearly shocked the Saputo Stadium crowd when his header grazed the post on its way wide.
Montreal’s pressure finally paid off before the hour mark. A mad scramble off a corner sent the ball right to Camacho, whose backheel opened the scoring from a couple feet out.
Galvanized Montreal added to the lead just four minutes later when Miller got on the end of a corner to double the lead.
