Marie-Yasmine Alidou secured the decisive goal through a penalty kick in the 55th minute, leading the Montreal Roses to a 2-0 victory against AFC Toronto in Northern Super League competition over the weekend. Elyse Bennett contributed her ninth goal of the season to extend the Roses’ lead under the guidance of interim head coach Maryse Bard-Martel. Despite Shelina Zadorsky’s effort for Toronto, a disallowed goal due to an offside call kept the score in Montreal’s favor. Goalkeeper Anna Karpenko of the Roses showcased her skills by facing and saving 20 shots, with nine on target, to achieve a clean sheet. Meanwhile, Toronto’s goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo had a busy game, stopping seven shots, five of which were on target. Following the dismissal of head coach Robert Rositoiu, the Roses demonstrated resilience in their first match post the coaching change, bouncing back from a recent upset defeat in the W Canadian Championship.
