Tobias Warschewski’s 27th-minute goal sent Cavalry FC into the Canadian Premier League championship game with a 1-0 win over Forge FC in the qualifying semifinal Sunday.
Defending champion Forge still has a chance to join second-seeded Cavalry in the Nov. 9 final in Calgary, however.
No. 1 Forge will host next Saturday’s semifinal against No. 3 Atletico Ottawa, which edged No. 4 York United FC 5-4 in a penalty shootout earlier Sunday after their quarterfinal finished tied 2-2 after extra time.
It’s the third trip to the CPL final for Cavalry, which lost to Forge in 2019 and 2023. Forge, meanwhile, suffered only its second defeat in 14 career playoff games (10-2-2).
“It was a very tough performance from us. And it needed to be,” Cavalry coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. said.
Cavalry almost went ahead in the 24th minute Sunday at Tim Hortons Field only to see Forge’s Alessandro Hojabrpour acrobatically clear away a Callum Montgomery header destined for a goal.
But Warschewski made no mistake three minutes later, taking advantage of a long free kick from goalkeeper Marco Carducci from just outside his own penalty box that split the Forge defence. Warschewski got to the ball first, chesting it down and fending off a defender before going around goalkeeper Jassem Koleilat and knocking the ball home.
“He’s unplayable, isn’t he,” Wheeldon said of Warschewski. “And credit to Marco. He saw an opportunity.”
