Montreal supporters chanted ‘death to Israel’ and threw bottles at Israel national-team striker Dor Turgeman during New England Revolution’s MLS match at Stade Saputo. Turgeman answered after scoring in the 36th minute, cupping his hand to his ear as his goal put New England 2-0 ahead. Montreal goalkeeper Sebastian Breza shoved him during the celebration and received a yellow card, while the official league video confirms the goal. Montreal later erased the two-goal deficit and the match ended 2-2; Turgeman was substituted in the 73rd minute.
