RECAP + HIGHLIGHTS: Cavalry FC vs. FC Supra du Québec | September 25, 2026
Sometimes the scoreline does not reflect the way a match unfolded, while on other occasions, the final score is as logical as it gets.
This clash between Cavalry and Supra falls firmly into the second category.
Although Cavalry head coach Tommy Wheldon Jr. kindly suggested after the match that Supra had “played a good game,” it quickly became apparent that there was more than one class separating the two teams.
Admittedly, the penalty awarded at the very start of the match and converted by Musse was reviewed by video and contested by Supra, as Loïc Kwemi’s handball inside the box could certainly be debated. That incident undoubtedly gave Cavalry the perfect start and left the Quebec side rattled.
That being said, the Alberta steamroller wasted little time asserting its superiority against a Supra team that was far too soft defensively to deal with the best attack in the league.
Cavalry’s pressing and bursts of acceleration kept the Supra defence under pressure throughout the match.
Unsurprisingly, Cavalry quickly extended its lead, just 15 minutes into the game. Goteh Ntignee beat Zachary Brault-Guillard before delivering a low cross to the far post for Nathaniel Edwards, who was completely unmarked after being left unattended by Diyaeddine Abzi. Edwards finished into an empty net (2-0; 16').
At the other end of the pitch, Nathan Ingham had not even touched the ball yet.
Trailing and struggling badly in the game, Supra eventually managed to regroup (a little). They pushed higher up the pitch, with Brault-Guillard, Kwemi, Santos and Condé all trying their luck, without seriously troubling Nathan Ingham.
Relatively comfortable overall, Tommy Wheldon Jr.’s men quickly settled into managing their lead for the remainder of the first half, only accelerating in spells.
Amer Didic came within inches of giving his team a third goal just before the break, heading a corner narrowly past Milli’s top corner (45').
A second-half correction
After the break, Supra came close to being knocked out several times. They were spared only by Ali Musse’s temporary lack of precision. Twice before the hour mark, the winger missed the target when the goal appeared to be there for the taking.
Rather than becoming frustrated, Cavalry patiently continued to take control of the match, and the breakthrough finally came through Didic’s header. From a corner delivered by Musse to the far post, Kobza headed the ball back across goal for Didic, who powered it beyond Milli’s reach (3-0; 62').
That was the end of the contest for Supra, but not for their opponents.
At a canter, Cavalry put Supra even further out of reach with a fourth goal similar to the third: a corner to the far post, Didic heading the ball back across goal, and Musse finishing with a header (4-0; 69').
Could things get any worse for Supra? Yes, by losing their composure, which is precisely what happened as they picked up a succession of yellow cards.
They also conceded a fifth goal, scored by Maël Henry just moments after coming on (5-0; 84'), with a magnificent strike, before the man of the night, Ali Musse, drove the final nail into Supra’s coffin. In the process, Musse also scored the first hat-trick in Cavalry history.
6-0. Game, set and match, Cavalry.
Cavalry are more firmly than ever at the top of the table. Before Forge FC’s match, they have a seven-point lead at the summit, with five games remaining.
Pending the other results, Supra are seven points behind the final playoff spot.
