Valour FC picked up their first win of the season on Sunday afternoon, beating Atlético Ottawa 6-1 in the nation’s capital. Moses Dyer and Alessandro Riggi each scored twice in the game, with Brett Levis and Rocco Romeo each scoring once as well. Ottawa’s goal came from an own goal, with Valour goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois redirecting Maxim Tissot’s cross into his own net.
The five first half goals are a record for most in the first half of a CPL game, it’s the first time Valour have scored six in a match, and the first 6-1 scoreline in league history.
Here are some sights and sounds from Valour’s dominant victory at TD Place.
