On the occasion of the reception of Atletico Ottawa, match counting for the twelfth day of the Canadian Premier League, FC Edmonton recorded this Sunday its first victory of the season by beating Atletico Ottawa (1-0) on the smallest of margins. A success obtained thanks to a second half goal of the Haitian international Bicou Bissainthe.

Unable to win since the beginning of the Canadian Premier League, FC Edmonton has just reconciled with victory after several weeks in the dark. It was not until the twelfth day that Alan Koch’s side finally got their first win, a home win, and mostly thanks to a goal from Bicou Bissainthe in the 65th minute of play, following an offer from Azriel Gonzalez. The blue and white team showed their fighting spirit and maintained the 1-0 lead until the final whistle.

Bicou Bissainthe was a starter and played the entire game as a central defender. With 7 points, FC Edmonton is still stuck in the last place of the ranking, while its opponent of the day is 3rd with 18 units.

For the next day, the winner of the day will have for opponent the team of Cavalry, next Sunday at 5:30 pm.
