A shocking stoppage-time equalizer by Kwame Awuah saw spoils split Sunday between Forge FC and HFX Wanderers in a 1-1 draw at Tim Hortons Field in the ComeOn! Match of the Week in CanPL action.
Awuah’s intended cross managed to loop over HFX ‘keeper Christian Oxner, sending the home Hamilton crowd into a frenzy and ultimately canceling out a first-half goal from Alex Marshall – his first of the season – in a rematch of the 2020 Island Games final.
The result sees Forge (4th, 19pts) and the Wanderers (7th, 12 pts) keep their place in the 2021 CanPL standings through the first 12 matchweeks.
Here are your sights and sounds from Sunday’s tilt.
