It was a triumphant return to Clarke Stadium for FC Edmonton on Saturday night, as they beat Valour FC 3-1.

A first half strike from star attacker Easton Ongaro saw The Eddies take the lead into half time, with Tobias Warschewski and Amer Didic adding to the lead in the second half, scoring three goals and comfortably taking all three points. Valour found the back of the net as an effort from Andy Baquero took a big deflection and beat Connor James, but it was too little, too late in the end.
