By Canadian Press on November 9, 2025.

OTTAWA — After a significant delay allowing for snowplows to clear the field, the Canadian Premier League championship final between Atlético Ottawa (15-2-11) and defending champions Cavalry FC (11-8-9) is now in extra time at TD Place.

Tied 1-1 through regulation time in a distinctly Canadian final, the next 30 minutes of play will decide the winner of the 2025 North Star Cup

Cavalry struck first in the 33rd minute on a penalty shot from defender Fraser Aird. Just six minutes later, Ottawa forward David Rodríguez scored a bicycle kick beauty to tie the game.
