Ulloa hattrick!

Solid looking crowd tonight and the Trench is absolutely rocking. Now to have all the air sucked out by a 0-0 draw. 

[jonovision]

Achinoti-Jonsson is even uglier in person than on screen.

[K Edgar]

Pianelli!!!!

Valour's midfield play has been very sloppy, as one might expect. Fortunate to be up, of course, but Forge hardly seem like world beaters yet. Poku the only player that seems engaged.

Forge have been outshot 20-2 in the last 2 halves of football, this team is too old and boring no matter what combination Bobby wants to put out there, Forge never seem to get a result in Winnipeg even when they were a dominant team!

[Cheeta]

In case anyone missed it, dozen-score supports ejected from the Trench.  Unauthorized smoke.

I shit you not.

This club is so stupid. The last goal celebration looked and sounded so good this game too.

I hope they let them back in? Last year they kicked out a couple of Pacific supporters who did the same and later let them back in.

 

Edit: Ponce?!

Sweet finish by Ponce makes it 2-0

I know you don't like Forge, but is this really necessary?

[Cicero]

Toothless Forge continues. Why keep Hamilton on? He has been completely ineffective the whole season.

It's not just him though, all of the strikers are bad this season and a good part of this is down to poor service, Campbell has been a big disappointment and in fairness has been played out of position at times, Pacius is young and it seems like ages ago when he was scoring goal for fun!

[narduch]

Lol James is playing as striker now

[Cicero]

Just complete ineptitude on offence. Three goals in the last five games. Brutal. Gotta change something up front. Not sure what, but this can't continue.

Forge had the better chances, at least in the first half, but we're wasteful. Then after the 2-0 Valour did an ok job of killing off the game.

It's about time we got lucky that the other team missed a bunch of chances.

Is this really what happened? I was wondering why that section looked half empty for most of the second half.

[K Edgar]

Yesli had a solid game.

[jonovision]

^ Yesli had some nice stops. His kicking often left much to be desired.

Felt like a good crowd in the building. Lots of teams.
