Atlético Ottawa secures a spot in the Canadian Premier League final by claiming a 2-1 comeback victory against Forge FC. The triumph on the road at Hamilton Stadium in the CPL’s championship semifinal guarantees Atlético a decisive match at TD Place on November 9. Despite finishing first in the CPL table, just two points ahead of Ottawa, Forge FC still has a chance to make it to the final if they win the upcoming contender semifinal. This recent game witnessed Forge FC taking the lead in the 23rd minute with a goal from David Choinière. However, Ottawa equalized ten minutes later through Gabriel Antinoro’s strike. In the early stages of the second half, Atlético’s striker Sam Salter, who holds the CPL single-season goals record, secured the victory with a header. The regular season saw the two teams face each other four times, resulting in three draws and one win for Forge FC.
