OTTAWA PLAYERS WITH TROPHY STORY: Atletico Ottawa secured a Canadian Premier League final victory unlike any other, a snow-globe spectacle amid a swirling blizzard featuring what online media outlets dubbed an "icicle kick" from Mexican midfielder David Rodriguez. Hosts Ottawa beat Cavalry FC with a 2-1 extra-time win in Sunday's (November 9) title decider in temperatures of minus 8 degrees Celsius (46.4°F) with snow so heavy that play was halted every 15 minutes to clear the lines, and goalkeepers used shovels to carve out their boxes. There was a 60-minute delay after normal time ended to plow the pitch. Calvary struck first when Fraser Aird, playing in short sleeves, converted a penalty in the 33rd minute, celebrating with a snowy knee slide. Rodriguez scored the breathtaking equaliser seven minutes later, with his stunning bicycle kick that thundered off the underside of the bar and into the net. Rodriguez was not done, as he chipped the ball over Calvary goalkeeper Marco Carducci in the 107th minute to seal his place in Canadian soccer history. Atletico Ottawa are a CPL franchise of Spanish side Atletico Madrid and were founded in 2020. (Production: Andy Ragg) (The article has been published through a syndicated feed.
