Atlético Ottawa secured a Canadian Premier League final victory unlike any other amid a swirling blizzard, with one of their goals dubbed an ‘icicle kick’ from the Mexican midfielder David Rodríguez.
Hosts Ottawa beat Cavalry FC 2-1 in extra-time in Sunday’s title decider in temperatures of -8C (17.6F) with snow so heavy that play was halted every 15 minutes to clear the lines on the pitch and goalkeepers using shovels to mark out their boxes.
