  • Weekend Recap: Late Penalty Lifts Cavs, Wild Concede 5 in Ottawa
    May 4 2026

    We review matches that happened over the past weekend including:

    Cavalry FC made their first visit to Montreal to play Supra and grabbed all three points, thanks to a late penalty by Tobias Warschewski. We talk about our impression of Supra, the video review reversals, and how the table is shaping up.

    The Calgary Wild were also on the road as they travelled to Ottawa. They lost 5-2 in a match where both sides had a lot of goal scoring opportunities. After two matches, we are noticing some concerning trends, particularly at the back. We discuss this as well as the injury situation where 8 players are out of action and it's only the second week of the season.

    The Alberta Premier League season kicked off on Friday. Jason gives a report from the Cavalry II vs Villains match at SAIT. We briefly review all of the other matches as well.

    We will release a new episode on Friday as usual as we return to a twice weekly release schedule.
