Vancouver FC upsets Atletico Ottawa with 3-1 win in Canadian Championship semifinals

Forge FC goalkeeper Jassem Koleilat (1) stops a deflected shot from Vancouver Whitecaps' Mathias Nicolas Laborda Malse — ido (2) during second half Canadian Championship semifinal soccer action in Hamilton, on Thursday, August 13, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nick Iwanyshyn Hugo Mbongoe's goal in the 69th minute stood up as the game winner as Vancouver FC downed Atletico Ottawa 3-1 in the first leg of their Canadian Championship semifinal matchup on Wednesday. Michel da Silva opened the scoring for Vancouver in the 21st minute, and Ottawa's Samuel Salter replied with a strike of his own in the 58th. Vancouver regained the lead thanks to Mbongoe's goal, then added some late insurance when Nicolás Mezquida scored in the first minute of injury time. It was an upset victory for Vancouver, who sit last in the Canadian Premier League standings with a 2-11-5 record on the season, while Ottawa (11-1-6) is battling Forge FC for top spot. Atletico will host the second leg of the semifinal series in Ottawa on Sept. 18. Earlier on Wednesday, Forge battled Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their semifinal matchup. Nana Ampomah had a goal and an assist for the CPL club, capitalizing on a failed clearance by Vancouver's Bjorn Utvik in the ninth minute, collecting the ball and firing it in to give Forge an early 1-0 lead. Tristan Blackmon responded for the 'Caps, scoring in the 18th minute, and Brian White gave Vancouver a 2-1 lead in the 29th minute. Forge levelled the score in the 34th minute when Ampomah picked up another failed Whitecaps clearance and sent it to Brian Wright, who popped it into the back of the Vancouver goal. The 'Caps will host the second half of the two-legged semifinal series in Vancouver on Sept. 16. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 13, 2025.

Canada's Erin Brooks named rookie of the year on World Surf League Championship Tour

Canada's Erin Brooks has been named the 2025 Rookie of the Year for the World Surf League Championship Tour. The only women's rookie to make the mid-season cut, Brooks finished her debut season ranked eighth in the world. The 18-year-old is the first Canadian to qualify for the tour, Brooks debuted with high expectations, elevated by a victory in her first-ever World Surf League appearance as a wild card in the final event of the 2024 season in Fiji. Brooks rose to the top of the strong rookie pack and kept herself in contention for the Final 5 right up until the final qualifying event in Tahiti. Her three semifinal appearances this season all came at notoriously difficult-to-read, shifting sand-bottom breaks, including Supertubos, Portugal, Burleigh Heads, Australia, and Saquarema, Brazil. The standout moment of Brooks's season was the quarterfinals of the Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro, where her hyper-critical backhand earned the second-highest heat total of the women's season, 17.76 (out of a possible 20), to defeat eight-time world champion Stephanie Gilmore of Australia. Brooks was born in Texas and grew up in Hawaii but has Canadian ties through her American-born father Jeff, who is a dual American-Canadian citizen, and her grandfather who was born and raised in Montreal. Brooks's citizenship bid was initially turned down but Immigration Minister Marc Miller had a change of heart in January 2024 after a ruling by Ontario's Superior Court of Justice that it is unconstitutional for Canada to deny automatic citizenship to the children of foreign-born Canadians who grew up abroad.
