For the third time, Forge FC became Canadian Premier League champions this past weekend, as the Hamilton club defeated Atlético Ottawa 2-0 in the nation’s capital to earn yet another title for the league’s most-decorated club.
Alessandro Hojabrpour scored in a second straight CPL Final — this time for Forge, rather than against them — and David Choinière sealed the win with a second-half goal as the visitors sailed on to an impressive triumph in front of nearly 15,000 fans at TD Place.
Forge did, of course, have a strong contingent of their own fans in the southeast corner to celebrate their title along with them, making the moment a little more special for the Hammers.
Here are some of the most memorable images and moments from a remarkable evening in Ottawa.
He's done it again!
