CF MontréalScores in spot start
Rios scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Starts have not been frequent for Rios in the tail end of the summer, but his recent output has validated a case for him getting a much more regular role for the remainder of the season. In his last two starts, he logged as many goals, doubling his 2026 campaign's goal tally from two to four.
Records goal Saturday
Daniel Rios scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Rios got the start on the wing Saturday and scored in Montreal's 2-2 draw with the Galaxy. He remains primarily a bench option, earning only occasional starts for the club. In his first season with Montreal, he has made five starts across 18 league appearances while tallying three goals.

Scores in first league start
Daniel Rios scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Portland Timbers. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.
Analysis: Rios came off the bench in the last outing and scored, earning a start in the quick midweek turnaround, replacing Prince-Osei Owusu up front. He took his opportunity well by scoring again, making it back to back league goals and his third in all competitions after also scoring in the cup.
Scores off bench in win
Rios scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win against Orlando City.
Analysis: Rios opened the scoring from the penalty spot in stoppage time during a brief appearance as a substitute against Orlando. It was his first league goal of the year and second across all competitions, adding to the one he scored a few days earlier in the Canadian Championship. Despite that momentum, Rios has limited chances of ousting Prince-Osei Owusu from the starting spot if the team sticks with a single center-forward scheme.
