June 3, 2022 – Canadian Premier League (CPL) – Atletico Ottawa News Release
Atlético Ottawa are back in action at TD Place this Sunday when they take on league leaders Pacific FC (KO 1 PM ET, live on OneSoccer). Ottawa concluded their three-game road trip with an impressive victory in Winnipeg, making it seven points out of a possible nine on their travels (with a draw against Forge FC and a win in Edmonton).
The last time these two sides clashed at TD Place (May 7), Pacific FC snatched the three points from under Atleti’s nose as Carlos González’s men put on their best-attacking display of the season, but were unable to find the back of the net.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Sunday’s kick-off:
Atlético Ottawa currently sit in third place (level on points with Cavalry FC in second).
Pacific FC are currently five points ahead of Atleti, but have played at least a game more than every team in the league (except FC Edmonton).
With back-to-back victories on the road, three points on Sunday would mark the first time in franchise history that Atlético Ottawa have won three consecutive matches.
Atelti put some demons to bed on Wednesday night when they beat Valour FC 1-0 in Winnipeg, as González praised the performance and commitment of the players.
Second-half substitutes Carl Haworth and Zach Verhoven combined in the 84th-minute as Atleti earned a well-deserved three points.
This was Verhoven’s first goal of the campaign, earning the tricky winger a place on the Canadian Premier League’s ‘Team of the Week’ (alongside Haworth and club captain Drew Beckie – who was imperious at the back).
Sunday’s game is Atlético’s Catalina Wine Mixer event, presented by Prestige Worldwide and LIVE 88.5.
