Pedro Gallese had six saves Saturday for Orlando City in a 0-0 tie with CF Montreal.

Orlando (3-2-4) is unbeaten in six consecutive games, dating to a 2-1 loss to New York City FC on March 8, and has not allowed a goal in three straight.

Montreal (0-6-3) is tied (with New England) for fewest goals scored in MLS this season (four) and only the LA Galaxy (minus-10) have a worse goal differential.

Jonathan Sirois had two saves for Montreal.

Rafael Santos subbed on for Kyle Smith at halftime, was shown a yellow card in the 60th minute and then a red in the 76th and Orlando played a man down the rest of the way.

“It was a game that gave us parts of it where we played the way we wanted,” Lions coach Oscar Pareja said after the game. “I seriously see in the first half and 20 minutes, the intention that we brought here to play against Montréal where we sequenced well and created chances. In the second half, it was the same until the red card came. I have to see the reactions. It was very frustrating for us. I saw the team fighting a lot and obviously we are concerned about not scoring goals, but the other side is a good balance defensively. We want to keep that but in order to add three points, we have to score goals. We have to get back to that.”

Orlando takes on Atlanta next on April 26 at home.
