Atlético Ottawa extend their unbeaten streak to four matches in all competitions, extending back to their TELUS Canadian Championship win over Toronto FC at the beginning of May.

Today's match saw Atleti register 19 total attempts, their highest total in a single game this season.

The club have also now scored in seven of their first eight Canadian Premier League matches this season, something no other team has done.

Assistant coach, Diego Campos took charge of the team today in Diego Mejía's absence due to suspension in what was his final match with the club.

Winger, Ballou Tabla scored his first goal of the Canadian Premier League season, making no mistake from the penalty spot in the 100' minute of the match.
