[narduch]

Match is at 3pm ET on One Soccer and CHCH TV. 

Radio is available on TSN 1200 Ottawa & TSN 1150 Hamilton.

AO defeated Cavalry 2-0 midweek.

Forge are coming off a loss to York.

This is an interesting matchup to me, Forge have looked good and cohesive at times but have shown some real vulnerability especially defending set pieces, are AT Ottawa just starting to find their groove in this league after defeating a once again strong Cavalry side?

For two hours today, we cannot be friends.  🙂

I am hoping for a Forge win just to salvage my fantasy footy week.

Forge looks dangerous so far. But Ottawa did have a decent chance on a giveaway

Forge takes the lead. Krutzen off a corner.

CHCH feed is about 30 seconds ahead of the Onesoccer.com feed, strangely.

Nice goal by Chioniere to make it 2-0

Match ends 2-0.

Forge now topping the table.

A solid performance by Forge especially as the 2nd half moved along, some very nice passing to keep possession to see the match out and a nice goal by Choiniere to make sure of all 3 points! Tha match was kind of choppy at times, I'm sure the high winds had a lot to do with it, I wasn't as impressed with this ref today, she didn't get any major calls wrong but I think both teams will be frustrated with some of the little fouls called! Lots of promising Canadian talent on display which is so nice to see, At Ottawa have some good players, they just couldn't break down a well organized Forge side!

Most importantly, Forge rescues an otherwise dismal week of Fantasy Footy.
