Cavalry did not break Ottawa before the interval, but the match changed after halftime. With the score locked at 0-0 at the break, the visitors found the cutting edge that was missing early and pulled away to seal a commanding result. Ottawa were left chasing the game and never found a response, ending the night without a goal on home turf.
It was a sharp turnaround from a tight opening 45 minutes and a reminder of why Cavalry have been one of the division's strongest sides this season. The final margin also stood out given Ottawa's position in the top half, but Cavalry handled the second half with authority and kept the hosts from building any late momentum.
The result leaves Cavalry second in the Canadian Premier League standings with 33 points from 15 matches, with 30 goals scored and only 8 conceded. Ottawa are fourth with 21 points from 15 matches, having scored 23 and conceded 28. For anyone checking the full summary, the final score, stats and highlights all reflect a disciplined away display and a difficult evening for Atletico Ottawa.
