No. 1 Forge FC and No. 2 Cavalry FC meet in the qualifying semifinal at Tim Hortons Field, with the winner moving straight into the Nov. 9 championship game. The loser drops into semifinal play Nov. 2 against either No. 3 Atletico Ottawa or No. 4 York United FC, who meet in the earlier quarterfinal Sunday at TD Place Stadium.
Hamilton's Forge has been the CPL's gold standard from Day 1, evidenced by the fact that it is looking for a fifth title — and third straight ---- in its sixth post-season appearance.Forge won the title in 2019, '20, '22 and '23 and was runner-up in 2021. Cavalry goes into the game with a career 2-7-1 playoff record. It has lost both previous away games in the post-season. Forge is 10-1-2 in the playoffs, including 6-1-0 at home.
York coach Benjamin Mora responded by noting his side had outscored Ottawa 7-2 in its three wins over its Ontario rival."Ottawa is a great team. They have great players," he added."Maybe their weak side is in another place."
