Pacific FC are the 2021 Canadian Premier League champions after achieving a 1-0 win over two-time champion Forge FC.
The winning goal for the Victoria club came from a free kick with just over 30 minutes to go in regulation time by BC-born midfielder Alessandro Leafbrpour.
Forge dominated the first half with 73 percent possession in front of a home crowd, before conceding in the 59th minute.
Hamilton’s Forge FC had won the inaugural 2019 Canadian Premier League championship after shutting out Cavalry FC 1-0 and were also winners in 2020 by beating HFX Wanderers FC 2-0 during island games in the Prince Edward Island, a season cut short amid the COVID-19 lockdowns.
