Back on the audio network with a recap of yesterday’s CanChamp semi-final against TFC! Today, Mackenzie discusses key moments from the match, how Forge should carry their momentum into the CPL regular season and an exciting announcement from Canada soccer. We hear from Alessandro Hojabrpour, Malik Owolabi-Belewu, and Khadim Kane. 

Key Takeaways:

• Malik had been given the opportunity to play at right back against Chivas so he had a basic understanding of the positioning after being put there with Daniel’s absence.
• Despite a solid win against another MLS opponent, both Ale & Malik agree it was disappointing to concede in the manner in which they did given the significance of away goals.
• Coach Bobby emphasized that it is important for the sport to have players like Benni Badibanga to uphold the creativity and flare within it!
• Canada Soccer announced today that Forge Fc’s Khadim Kane has been selected to join the 21-player roster for the upcoming 2024 U-20 Concacaf Championship in Mexico.
• Pacific is currently 4th in the standings, just one point ahead of Forge. However, their recent form might be better reflected by their 1-0 loss to Vancouver FC in the Canadian Championship.
