Sunusi Ibrahim hits Canadian Championship Final


Sunusi
Ibrahim Sunusi will play in the Canadian Championship Final with his Major League Soccer (MLS) side Montreal Impact after they beat Forge FC 8-7 via penalties after the full time ended goalless, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The match was open early, as the sides swapped a pair of huge chances. Forge FC nearly opened the scoring shortly after kickoff through a shot from Wikelman Carmona that forced Montréal backstop Sebastian Breza into a reaction save. Montréal then almost found the go-ahead goal on the other end after Sunusi Ibrahim got in behind RBNY's defense and put his shot on target, but saw it denied by Carlos Coronel's kick save.
Montréal charged onto the front foot, but Forge FC created the next-best look just shy of the half-hour mark. Kyle Duncan started the sequence with an alert interception deep into Montréal's half, before Sean Davis found Patryk Klimala for a wide-open shot. Breza was up to the task, denying the Polish striker's close-range effort.
Forge FC appeared reinvigorated coming out of the halftime locker room, going inches from finding an opener in the 68th minute on a chance spearheaded by Clark. Cristian Casserres Jr. collected a feed from the 18-year-old and smashed a shot from atop the area that seemed bound for goal, only to deflect off the post.
A scoreless finish seemed inevitable, but Fabio ensured that wouldn't be the case, flicking home the game-winning header after Clark nodded Klimala's deep cross back across goal.
