Forward Goteh Ntignee returns to Cavalry FC on multi-year deal

Article content Cavalry FC has added another Albertan to the roster. Article content Coaldale-raised forward Goteh Ntignee returns to Cavalry FC after previously representing the club during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Article content Article content The 23-year-old made 20 appearances for the Canadian Premier League side before earning a then-league-record transfer to FC Annecy in France's Ligue 2 in August 2023, where he remained under contract until earlier this year. Article content 'We are delighted to welcome Goteh back to the club,' said Cavalry GM/head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. 'He is a dynamic and skilled attacking player that can cause issues for any defence in this league. I'm sure our fans will be excited to see him in the Cavalry jersey once again.' Article content Article content Ntignee will be eligible to appear for Cavalry following the opening of the secondary transfer window on July 24 and pending receipt of his international transfer certificate. Article content 'I'm very happy to be back at the club,' said Ntignee, who's new contract runs through 2027 with an option for a further year.

Cavalry FC falls to Vancouver FC in penalties in Canadian Championship quarters

Article content Another chase for the Canadian Championship is over for Cavalry FC. Article content A loss in a penalty shootout to visiting Vancouver FC on Tuesday night at ATCO Field left the Calgary club heartbroken and ended this year's run for the Voyageurs Cup, despite what looked like perhaps the team's best opportunity to track down the coveted — and elusive — honour. Article content 'I think obviously we're disappointed,' said Cavalry midfield star Shamit Shome after the 1-1 result, decided by penalty kicks that favoured the Vancouver squad 5-4 at Spruce Meadows. 'We wanted to push together to get to the semifinals for the first time in a while. Article content Article content 'It's just that's the reality of PKs. Anything can happen.' Article content Article content A win, indeed, would've pushed Cavalry onto the penultimate round of 'The Battle of the North' — a place the club reached once before back in the inaugural season. Article content Six years later and with both a league and playoff championship under their belts, the Cavs seem primed to make it back to at least the semi round. Article content Instead after Tuesday's decision, it's Vancouver FC off to play either Canadian Premier League rival Valour FC or Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps FC. That tie is at 2-2 with Leg 2 in the total-goal series set for Wednesday night at Vancouver's BC Place. Article content 'We've dealt with three penalty losses in Can Champs,' said Cavalry gaffer Tommy Wheeldon Jr., reflecting on his club's misadventures over the years. 'We've just got to move on and focus on what the next match is. The next match happens to be Vancouver (in CPL action Sunday night), so it's a great response for the players now, because I'm sure they're smarting.' Article content Article content Another oh-so-close result in a shootout certainly should hurt. Article content This decider saw usually reliable Tobias Warschewski miss for Cavalry before teammates Caniggia Elva, Mihail Gherasimencov, Fraser Aird and Ali Musse all scored. Article content For Vancouver, it was Nicolás Mazquida, David Norman Jr., Aidan O'Connor, Terran Campbell and Juan Batista converting penalty kicks on Cavalry goalkeeper Marco Carducci. Teammate Thomas Powell missed his chance. Article content But the difference came on the last kick, when it was Maël Henry saved by the Vancouver goalie Callum Irving, who stretched out to get his fingers on the shot to the deep left of the net. Article content 'It's about the 180 minutes (over two games to beat Vancouver),' said Wheeldon, whose charges drew even 1-1 with host Vancouver back in July during the first leg of the two-game, total-goal quarterfinal series. 'Vancouver played us tough in those 180 minutes and took it to a lottery, and we lost that. So we have to look at what we could have done better in those 180 — not just (Tuesday) night — and see how we can get better.'

Article content Levi Laing was charged with taken down a Vancouver FC forward in the box, leading to the shot from the dot that Mazquida hammered past Carducci. Article content After that goal, 'They defended their socks off,' said Cavalry gaffer Tommy Wheeldon Jr. The home side, however, did get the goal back in the 66th minute on a weird play. Article content Cavalry defender Mihail Gherasimencov chased down a corner kick that was redirected beyond the top of the box and fired a ball that deflected into the net off injured — and prone — O'Connor.

Cavalry dominated in the preliminary round against semi-pro team Edmonton Scottish, winning 6-0, with six different players scoring goals in the contest. Canadian Premier League teams have yet to win this tournament since the league began play in 2019, with Forge FC's runner-up showing in 2020 being the best performance from a team from the league. Right now in CPL play, Vancouver FC is struggling to find any rhythm, winning just one of its 13 matches and sitting last in the league with seven points. Cavalry has been significantly better, winning half of its games and sitting fourth in the league standings with 21 points.
