Jenaya Robertson’s 85th-minute strike secured a dramatic 1-0 win for the Calgary Wild over the previously unbeaten Montreal Roses in Northern Super League action on Sunday at McMahon Stadium.
Robertson’s right-footed finish from the center of the box not only sealed Calgary’s first home win but also marked the franchise’s first goal at McMahon. The tightly contested match saw both teams split possession equally and tally 10 shots apiece, though Calgary registered the only two on target.
The Wild had five corner kicks compared to Montreal’s one, and the Roses received four yellow cards to Calgary’s two in a match defined by defensive discipline and late drama.
The win moves Calgary to a 2-2-1 record, while Montreal falls to 3-1-1. The Roses will look to rebound against AFC Toronto on Thursday, while the Wild head west to face Vancouver Rise on Saturday.
