Montreal closed out their four-match home stretch with a 1-0 win over Halifax Tides FC last Sunday, settled by a penalty from Montrealer Chloe Minas. It was a tight result against one of the league’s best defences, and a fourth clean sheet for Anna Karpenko.

The Montréal Roses can confirm that Evelyn Badu has been named to Ghana’s provisional squad for the CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, taking place in Morocco from July 25 to August 16. She is one of 27 players called up by head coach Kim Lars Björkegren, who will finalize his squad at the end of the pre-tournament camp.

Badu leaves Montreal in fine form. The 23-year-old midfielder scored a hat-trick in the Roses’ 5-1 win over Vancouver Rise FC on July 4, including a strike into the top corner widely regarded as one of the goals of the season. She has four goals and one assist in nine appearances this campaign.

The Montréal Roses closed out their four-match home stretch on a high on Sunday, beating Halifax Tides FC 1-0 in front of a loud crowd at Stade Boréale. Montrealer Chloe Minas, on as a second-half substitute, scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot in the 77th minute. It’s a second straight win, moving the Roses to 6-2-3 (21 points).

This was not the goal-scoring showcase of the previous match, and it took character. Up against one of the league’s best defences, the Roses had to contend with a disciplined opponent who threatened on the counter. Anna Karpenko answered when called upon, and the back line held firm to preserve the clean sheet.

The Montréal Roses can confirm that Eve Perisset sustained an injury in training. The defender is expected to be sidelined for an estimated 8 to 12 weeks. Perisset will begin her rehabilitation with the Roses’ medical staff and will remain in Montreal for the duration of her recovery. The club will provide an update in due course.

“Accidental injuries are unfortunately part of the game,” said Marinette Pichon, Sporting Director of the Montréal Roses. “Eve is part of our project for the seasons ahead. Her commitment to the Roses is unchanged, and we will support her through every step of her recovery.”

The Montréal Roses complete their four-match home stretch on Sunday, welcoming Halifax Tides FC in the first meeting between the two clubs this season. Coming off a convincing 5-1 win over reigning champions Vancouver, the Roses (5-2-3, 18 points) will look to build on that result in front of their supporters. Four points separate the two sides in the table.

The last match was a turning point. Evelyn Badu scored a hat-trick, including a strike into the top corner that will rank among the goals of the season, while Elyse Bennett took her tally to seven, keeping her atop the NSL scoring chart. That’s the kind of performance the side will be looking to repeat.

The Montréal Roses are proud to announce the arrival of two international-calibre players: French defender Ève Perisset and Montreal-born midfielder Marie-Yasmine “Mimi” Alidou. Attracting players of this calibre is no longer just an ambition for the Roses. These two signings confirm that the club and the Northern Super League have become a genuine destination for a career and development at the highest level.

Perisset arrives in Montreal with 61 caps for France and one of the most decorated résumés in European soccer. A product of Olympique Lyonnais, she won four French titles and the UEFA Champions League there, before representing Paris Saint-Germain, Girondins de Bordeaux and Chelsea, where she lifted three English league titles and the FA Cup. Most recently, she played for Tigres UANL in Mexico, where she added a further league title to her honours. Known for her consistency, leadership and quality in possession, the right-back has represented France at two World Cups, two Euros and the Paris Olympic Games. At Euro 2022, she scored the decisive extra time penalty that eliminated the Netherlands, defending champions.

The Montréal Roses returned to winning in spectacular fashion on Saturday, beating the reigning champions Vancouver Rise FC 5-1 in front of a loud home crowd at Stade Boréale. Powered by an Evelyn Badu hat-trick, the Roses snapped their winless run and delivered their most complete performance of the season. With a win, Montreal (5-2-3, 18 points) reignites its season at just the right time. The Roses close out their four-match home stretch on July 12 at 4:00 p.m. against Halifax Tides FC; tickets start at $28 at en.rosesmtl.ca/tickets.

Badu got things started with the opening goal in the 18th minute. Vancouver answered before the break through Jessica De Filippo (42’), and the sides went in level at 1-1. The second half is where the Roses made the difference.

The Montréal Roses have signed three players from the CF Montréal Academy to youth development permits: Mélyna Alexis, Megan Lemieux and Christ-Mayron Brou.

The youth development permit allows young players to gain minutes in a professional environment while being designed to preserve their eligibility to pursue the collegiate route. In this case, all three players remain CF Montréal Academy players, where they continue their development.

The Montréal Roses continue their home stretch on Saturday, welcoming Vancouver Rise FC, the reigning Northern Super League champions It’s the third of four straight matches at Stade Boréale, and a chance for Montreal to get back to winning in front of their supporters.

Last Saturday, the Roses had the better of the play and the chances against Ottawa but fell 2-1, with Elyse Bennett converting a late penalty, her sixth goal of the season, which keeps her atop the NSL scoring chart.

Kickoff for our July 4 match against Vancouver Rise FC has been moved to 3:30 p.m. The new time lets you cheer on Canada at the FIFA World Cup earlier in the day before joining us at Stade Boréale.

We look forward to seeing you for a full day of soccer.
