Summary
CF Montreal said Sunday it is reviewing allegations that fans chanted “Death to Israel” and “Free Palestine” at New England Revolution forward Dor Turgeman during Saturday’s 2-2 draw.
The club said it is in contact with MLS and the Revolution, adding it does not tolerate discrimination and is working to establish the facts and take necessary action.
Turgeman, 22, had put New England up 2-0 in the 36th minute before celebrating in front of Montreal supporters; goalkeeper Sebastian Breza then shoved him to the turf and was shown a yellow card.
Witness accounts cited by i24 News also said beer bottles were thrown at the Israeli player, while MLS had not issued a public statement at the time of the report.
