The game came as expansion Nashville SC was forced to withdraw from the tournament earlier Thursday after nine players tested positive for coronoavirus. Nashville joined FC Dallas, which also withdrew after 10 players and a coach tested positive. The remaining 24 teams at the World Cup-style tournament are being sequestered at two Disney resorts.
Bou peppered Diop with shots in the final minutes of the opening half but couldn’t finish and the teams were scoreless at the break.
Impact coach Thierry Henry, wearing a Black Lives Matter T-shirt, kneeled for the first 8 minutes and 46 seconds of the game in honor of George Floyd.
The two teams met Feb. 29 to open the season, with Montreal winning 2-1 on Max Urruti’s goal in the 80th minute. It was Henry’s first game as coach of the Impact.
