CF MontréalAssists from flank again
Petrasso assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), nine crosses (four accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Petrasso may not be playing a highly offensive position at left-back, but he has been such a force on that end, increasing his value significantly. Since August, his seven appearances feature three assists on 46 crosses (15 accurate) and 19 chances created.
Mixed bag in loss
Petrasso had an own goal, five crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 7-1 loss against Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Petrasso was responsible for an own goal, but he did do some good things with five crosses. The defender will look to avoid mishaps against a Philadelphia Union side which has been decent in the attacking third, scoring 34 goals in 22 matches. However, they have allowed 39 goals in the same span.
Logs in assist
Petrasso assisted once to go with 11 crosses (four accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Petrasso was involved in one of Montreal's two goals Saturday, providing an assist against the Galaxy. It was his second assist in four matches after going 15 straight contests without a goal contribution. He has been a reliable presence for the club, not missing a match since the opening month of the season, while averaging 4.2 crosses per game.
Sets up equalizer
Petrasso assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus New England Revolution.
Analysis: Petrasso is known for his crossing ability from the left flank, and that ability was in full display in this goal after his pinpoint delivery was nodded home by Prince-Osei Owusu in the 59th minute. This was Petrasso's first assist of the season, but as a left-back who has 21 chances created and 58 crosses, he was due to record his first assist of the season.
Makes four tackles
Petrasso crossed three times inaccurately while making four tackles (winning three) during Thursday's 0-0 draw with Toronto.
Analysis: Petrasso led Montreal in tackles as he helped his side keep a clean sheet from his role at left-back. The defender has combined for five tackles and four clearances over his last three starts while also chipping in with six chances created and 15 crosses in attack.
Signs contract extension
Petrasso signed a contract extension with Montreal until the end of the 2028/29 season with an option for the 2029/30 campaign.
Analysis: Petrasso has established himself as a regular for Montreal this year, and after making his debut in Week 3 of the regular season, he hasn't left the XI. With 12 starts in 14 matches and solid numbers as a crossing threat (3.6 per game), Petrasso should remain a regular presence in Montreal's defensive line for years to come.
Active in win
Petrasso registered one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Orlando City.
Analysis: Petrasso delivered the second-most crosses in the game and drew the penalty kick that led to the opening goal. While he wasn't too busy defensively, he earned a clean sheet for the second time in his last three appearances. The eight crosses set a season-high mark for the left-back, raising his total to 27 in nine matches played. He'll look to remain a regular starter while looking to open his scoring or assisting count in future contests.
