Forge FC and Atletico Ottawa, the top two teams in the Canadian Premier League, posted convincing victories in Canadian Championship preliminary-round play Wednesday.
The goals came fast and furious at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa, where the home side led 4-0 at the break. Ottawa scored a pair one minute apart in the second half and then recorded three more in the space of six minutes in the second half.

The winner advances to face Toronto FC.
Forge went ahead in the eighth minute when York lost a pair of battles for the ball in its own half. Playmaker Tristan Borges, named the CPL player of the month earlier in the day, sent a cross into the York penalty box that Hamilton headed in.Borges, who won the CPL’s Golden Boot, Player of the Year and Best Canadian U-21 Player awards in the league’s inaugural 2019 season, has been in fine form so far this year with two goals and three assists in Forge’s first three league games.
Hamilton added to the lead in the 39th minute with Borges again involved in the play. Borges hammered a shot from distance off the goalpost and the ball came back to Hamilton, who knocked it home. Bassett made no mistake from the penalty spot. Samake had to leave the game as a result of the collision.
