In a thrilling match on Sunday at McMahon Stadium, Jenaya Robertson’s goal in the 85th minute lifted the Calgary Wild to a stunning 1-0 upset win over the previously unbeaten Montreal Roses in Northern Super League play.
Robertson’s right-footed shot from the centre of the box found the back of the net, securing the victory for the Wild and handing the Roses their first loss of the season.
Both teams had equal possession of the ball, each controlling it 50 per cent of the time. However, the Wild managed to capitalize on their opportunities, with two of their 10 shots hitting the target compared to none for the Roses.
Calgary also dominated in corner kicks, earning five compared to Montreal’s one. The Roses received double the number of yellow cards, with four compared to the Wild’s two.

With this win, the Wild now have a record of two wins, two losses, and a draw, while the Roses sit at three wins, one loss, and one draw in the six-team Canadian women’s pro soccer circuit.
Next up, the Roses will host AFC Toronto on Thursday, looking to bounce back from their first defeat of the season. The Wild, on the other hand, will travel to face the Vancouver Rise on Saturday, aiming to build on their momentum from this impressive victory.
