Israeli striker Dor Turgeman scored for the New England Revolution, putting his team up 2-0, after a section of the crowd reportedly chanted 'Death to Israel' and other anti-Israel slurs. He celebrated in front of the home supporters, drawing a shove from Montreal goalkeeper Sebastian Breza, who received a yellow card. The match ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw, according to reports.
The CF Montréal–New England Revolution match ended in a 2-2 draw on Sunday, after Israeli striker Dor Turgeman scored and was met with anti-Israel chants from the crowd, including "Death to Israel." Turgeman celebrated in front of the home supporters with a silencing gesture, prompting a shove from Montreal goalkeeper Sebastian Breza, who received a yellow card. Cups and bottles were thrown onto the pitch. The match ultimately finished 2-2, with Turgeman's goal putting New England up 2-0 before Montreal equalized.
The Zioneer first reported the incident earlier Sunday (06:35 Jerusalem), noting that the crowd had chanted anti-Israel slurs and that Turgeman's celebration sparked a commotion. Subsequent reports from the same morning added that the goalkeeper attacked Turgeman and received a yellow card, and that objects were thrown at the striker. The details were corroborated by multiple Israeli media outlets, including Israel Hayom and i24NEWS, and later by The Zioneer's own reporting.
As The Zioneer reported on Sunday (07:18 Jerusalem), Turgeman's goal was part of a broader MLS round where Israeli players featured prominently—Tai Baribo scored his fourth consecutive goal for DC United, and Idan Toklomati and Liel Abada nearly led Charlotte to a win.
No injuries or arrests were reported following the incident. The match concluded without further altercations.
