As he so often has in the early stages of his CPL career, Joe Mason provided the decisive touch for Cavalry FC as they took all three points away to Valour FC with a 1-0 win on Saturday evening at IG Field. In a feisty affair featuring nine first half cautions (14 total in the match) and several contentious officiating decisions, a battle tested Cavs team found a way to prevail as they so often do.

Cavalry improves to 9-4-3 on the season, good for 31 points and first in the league table ahead of the final result between Pacific FC and FC Edmonton.
