Summary
First half
The match was played in front of a crowd of 14,992 fans at TD Place Stadium.[8] Defender Diego Espejo returned to Atlético Ottawa's lineup after serving a suspension in leg 2 of the semifinals.[9][10] Forge stuck with their usual 4–3–3 formation, inserting Noah Jensen into the lineup for the suspended Kyle Bekker.[9]
Forge FC began the match on the offensive with Atlético absorbing pressure and looking to counter-attack.[9] Alessandro Hojabrpour opened the scoring for Forge in the 28th minute on a header from a free kick by Tristan Borges, his second goal in as many finals.[11][12] Atlético began playing more offensively late in the first half seeking to score an equalizer before half time, but were unable to get a shot on goal.[11]
Second half
Forge came out strong to begin the second half with Borges and Aboubacar Sissoko forcing Atlético goalkeeper Nathan Ingham to make a pair of early big saves. In the 75th minute, Sergio Camus came close to scoring an equalizer for Atlético but was denied by Forge goalkeeper Triston Henry.[9][11]
David Choinière scored a second goal for Forge in the 78th minute to make the score 2–0. While both teams made several tactical substitutions in the later stages of the match, neither team scored any additional goals, resulting in Forge winning 2–0.[9]
Forge held a larger share of ball possession time in the match (55 per cent to 45 per cent) and completed more passes than Atlético (453 to 377).[13] Following the match, the CPL announced that David Choinière was the player of the match.[14][15]
