Forge FC are four-time Canadian Premier League playoff champions after stunning rivals Cavalry FC in extra time 2-1 in the 2023 CPL Final. They became the first side to win a CPL Final at home, and also the first side to come from behind in a final to win. After the match remained scoreless through 90 minutes, Cavalry’s Ali Musse opened the scoring in the 101st minute with an outstanding strike that stunned the incredible crowd at Tim Hortons Field. Forge, however, equalized quickly through a brilliant moment of quality of their own as Béni Badibanga curled the ball past Marco Carducci in stoppage time of the first half of extra time.

Then in the 111th minute, Tristan Borges played hero for Forge. The year one member of the Hamilton side sent his corner kick directly past Carducci and into the back of the net in an outrageous Olimpico goal that was a moment undoubtedly deserving of winning a final. Cavalry are now winless in their two CPL final appearances, both against Forge, having also lost in the two-legged final in the league’s inaugural season, 2019.
