Narduch, this was in the media release from Wednesday:

 

• Record head-to-head (all-time): 2W-3D-11L; 9 goals scored, 30 goals conceded.

Seems like one result is different but the actual reason of my post is the goal difference. 
 

EEK!!!!

I think Fotmob counts Voyageurs Cup penalty shoot outs as draws

They are draws.

I would assume that Atleti look at it as a loss.  You didn't move on, you lost.

Either record isn't a good one and the goals for and against indicate why.

Show up early if you’re going, continuously scheduling it with the glebe garage sale seems strange

I wonder if the marathon weekend as well creates a problem.  If the route is along the Parkway?

Yup forgot about that. The road closures are crazy.

Not surprising that Forge make a few changes after the epic V's Cup match in Montreal on Wednesday, still no striker in the starting 11!

13' aparicio with a great shot from outside the box makes it 1-0

[Big_M]

24' belewu gets a yellow...sissoko got a yellow about ten minutes before

25' parra gets a yellow for simulation

As a Glebe resident, a runner and an Atleti supporter, this is always my favourite weekend of the year.

Forge with a lot of good possession up to the attacking third but with virtually zero penetrating balls behind Ottawa it made for a frustrating half for them I’m sure.

1-0 at the break

Forge predictably looked a bit sluggish but have kept themselves in the match and created some half chances against this good Ottawa side, there are some options off the bench which I expect Bobby will use! This should be Ottawa's best chance to get their first win at home over Forge, a second goal might kill this off with Forge thin up front!

Guess the toonie burger promotion underperformed. The relatively few spectators in the north stand could be comfortably accomodated in the empty seats that are definitely still there in the south.

Just figured out that the Onesoccer app has audiotracks that allow you not to listen to Jimmy B and the other dude sitting beside the monitor in Mississauga. Definitely prefer it that way with just the field level microphones.

It's painful to watch at times but think the Forge have a very good chance of being gifted a goal by Yesli & Co when they step out of park the bus mode and press Ottawa around their own box very aggressively.

Thought the Forge dude who got the yellow at the top of the six yard box was lucky not to see red. He could see his opponent all the way and went ahead with the attempted bicycle kick anyway.

forge starts strong and a choiniere shot is pushed away for a corner

On the other hand Forge does seem vulnerable on the counter here, as Apparicio almost showed...

53' hojabrpour gets a yellow

Twardek will never be mistaken for a Brazilian in terms of his ball control.
