Forge FC secured their fourth Canadian Premier League championship with a 2-1 overtime win against Cavalry FC. Borges scored the title-clinching goal with a corner kick. The team played with the joy of their youth, as encouraged by their coach. Goalkeeper Triston Henry's brilliant saves helped push the game into overtime.
Moments after the final whistle blew in Forge FC's 2-1 overtime victory against Cavalry FC to claim a fourth Canadian Premier League championship, the home team jumped up and down in front of Section 102, where the loyal Barton St. Battalion resided. A few steps from the festivities was where Borges bent and scored his title-clinching corner-kick goal on Saturday.
Borges gave Forge FC its joyful moment in the 21st minute of the 30-minute overtime. His left-footed corner kick swung high to the far post and past the outstretched arms of Calgary-based Cavalry FC goalkeeper Marco Carducci to send 13,925 home fans into a frenzy. But Ali Musse scored in the 11th minute of the first half of overtime to push the visitors to a 1-0 advantage with a deadly shot from just outside the box.
"Our game plan was if we have any corners, especially big moments like that, was to put it on the goal and to see what happens," Borges said. "Then we go and finally get the goal that we wanted, and then it got a bit chaotic. Then they got two crazy goals that you don't expect, and so it hurts."
