Stepping onto the field, Latifah Abdu, a beacon of inspiration for the newest team in town, Montreal Roses, left fans gobsmacked with a go-ahead goal, securing a 2-1 victory over Ottawa Rapids. The symbolism couldn't be more potent; it was a moment that embodied the very spirit the Roses were founded upon.
Minutes before the final whistle, Latifah, a Quebec native back from her European adventure, became the undisputed queen of the day, and the season opener, in Montreal.
"I could feel the love and support from the crowd," Latifah shared, her eyes welling up with emotion. "The stadium felt like one big family."
As Latifah walked off the field, her name echoed through the stands, a crescendo of cheers that brought her to tears.
The Roses' Triumph
Latifah's empowering goal sparked a remarkable comeback, as Montreal rebounded from a less-inspiring first half, featuring a goal scored by Ottawa's Delaney Baie Pridham at the 40th minute.
Head coach Robert Rositoiu rallied his troops at halftime, and the second half became a relentless assault on the Rapids' defense. The crowd's energy pulsed through both field and stands, an electric current that inspired wave after wave of Montreal attacks.
At the 70th minute, Tanya Boychuk capitalized on a perfect cross, heading the ball into the net, giving Montreal the lead. Boychuk, a former diver, celebrated with a series of graceful pirouettes, a captivating sight that stole the hearts of the already sold-out crowd.
"I haven't done that in years!" Boychuk joked during a post-match press conference. "I almost collided with Megan Sauvé during my first celebration attempt!"
The moment was timed perfectly, as Boychuk's diving friends were among the spectators. "I did it for them!"
A Perfect Start
The Roses' victory marked their third win in three matches, launching their inaugural season in the North Super League off to a dominating start. But this win will undoubtedly stand out as a special moment for the players, as it marked the start of their journey in Montreal, a journey they hope will inspire the next generation of athletes, both girls and boys alike.
"For seven years, I never got to sing the Canadian national anthem," shared Tanya Boychuk, an Alberta-born forward who moved to Montreal after spending the last few years in Sweden and Iceland. "While I was singing, I saw the little girls in the stands. It's really special. We hope to inspire the next generation."
