Forge FC were crowned the Canadian Premier League’s first champions after beating Cavalry FC 1-0 in the second leg of the 2019 Canadian Premier League Finals at Spruce Meadows Saturday.
Forge FC won the two-game series 2-0 on aggregate, having already beaten Calgary’s club 1-0 in the first leg in Hamilton.
Forge’s David Choinière scored the match’s lone goal in the 95th minute, killing the contest deep in injury time.
Needing a goal from the first leg deficit, Cavalry FC provided most of attacking play, especially in the second half. But in the end Hamilton’s club only allowed two shots on target.
