POST MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE: Cavalry FC vs FC Edmonton (August 29, 2021)
"I think we had a lot of moments to win the game...it was kind of one-way traffic on the field." Joe Di Chiara, who scored a first half goal in our 2-2 draw with FC Edmonton on Sunday, talks to the media about how we dominated the play, his goal and what needs to happen prior to the rematch on Wednesday.

EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS: Cavalry FC vs FC Edmonton (August 29, 2021)
Sunday afternoon brought with it the perfect atmosphere for soccer. A beautiful day in Calgary, an electric crowd on hand, blue sky, green grass and another edition of the Al Classico. FC Edmonton came to ATCO Field still without a win on our home turf - and that fact wouldn't change, but they took advantage of their opportunities and put two on the board. We had a number of prime chances - and Mo Farsi was an absolute beast out on the pitch today. It was Joe Di Chiara hammering home a rebound in the first half and Joe Mason tying things up late in the second to secure a point against the Eddies. With a crowd of 3,500 in attendance, the energy was palpable. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the match. We now are on the road for the next three weeks, starting on Wednesday as we head north for a rematch with our provincial rivals. Our next home match is on September 22nd against Pacific FC - a Canadian Championship quarterfinal tilt. August 29, 2021 video: One Soccer #CavsFC #CPL

A beautiful Sunday afternoon at ATCO Field was the setting for the most recent chapter of the Al Classico. Our provincial rivals, FC Edmonton, were in tough against a healthy squad looking to take three points at home before heading out on a 3-week road trip. The teams exchanged goals in the first half and the second as we saw striker Joe Mason send the fans into a frenzy late with the equalizing tally. A 2-2 draw saw each team take a point home with them. August 29, 2021 video: One Soccer #CavsFC #CPL

EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS: Pacific FC vs Cavalry FC (August 20, 2021)
Last night saw the boys fire out of the gate and dominate the first half against league-leaders Pacific FC. Joe Mason collected a brace within the span of 7 minutes midway through the half, numerous other quality chance were there (I believe coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. said it could have been 3 or 4 goals in that first half) and we walked into the locker room at the midway point with a 2-0 lead. But you knew Pacific would come out pressing in the second half and they showed why they are one of the top teams in the CPL this season. A late goal via penalty kick cut the lead in half, but it was not enough as we pulled out a tough 2-1 win and gained those important away points. We are taking a few days off as we won't see game action again until Sunday, August 29th (vs. FC Edmonton) at ATCO Field.

POST MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE: FC Edmonton vs Cavalry FC CANCHAMP (August 15, 2021)
Goal scorer Joe Mason and coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. answer questions from the media after our decisive 2-0 win over FC Edmonton in the opening round of the 2021 Canadian Championship. Joe talks about his first half goal, that ended up being the winner, and the raucous Cavs crowd who made the trek up to Edmonton to support the team. Coach Wheeldon shares his thoughts on the "next man up" scenario that has seen our squad turn away from "starters and subs" to every man stepping up when called on. He also gives mention to the fantastic support from the Cavalry faithful - who have been a huge part of our success since inception - and talks about Honduran, José Escalante's versatility and veteran presence. We move on in the Canadian Championship bracket. Next up, we play the winner of the Pacific FC/Vancouver Whitecaps matchup (happening later this month). August 15, 2021 #CavsFC #CanChamp #AlClassico
