Valour FC edged past TSS Rovers with a narrow 1-0 victory in the Canadian Championship on May 8, 2025. The single goal proved enough for the Winnipeg side to take a slim lead from the first leg of this preliminary round encounter. In a match of few clear chances, the decisive moment came late in the first half when Valour's winger cut inside and fired a low shot that found the bottom corner. The second half was a tense affair, with TSS Rovers pushing for an equalizer and coming close on several occasions, forcing Valour's goalkeeper into a couple of important saves. While Valour will be pleased with the clean sheet and the win, the narrow margin means the return leg is still very much in the balance.
