Borges scores 'Olimpico' goal as Forge FC completes comeback to win 4th CPL title
Tristan Borges bent a high corner kick for a goal in extra time to push Forge FC to a successful defence of its Canadian Premier League championship with a 2-1 win against Calvary FC on Saturday in Hamilton.
The midfielder left-footed his significant goal into the far side of the net and past the outstretched arms of Calvary FC goalkeeper Marco Carducci to send 13,925 at Tim Hortons Field into a frenzy.
Borges's goal came in the 21st minute of extra time to provide the Forge FC with its second title in a row but fourth overall and first at home. The Hamilton side has a 5-0-1 record in six playoff games with its Calgary rivals.
The 25-year-old Borge hails from Toronto and played one game for the Canadian men's national team in 2020.
