Valour FC emerged victorious over 1-0 in an air-tight clash at IG Field Thursday afternoon.

Moses Dyer’s converted penalty in the 85th minute was the difference for the Winnipeg side who maintained their top-of-the-table pace with a 5-0-1 record and a corresponding 15 points in front of fans again at home in Winnipeg.

Ottawa had their chances especially in the second half, but nothing came off, as they walked away empty-handed.
