Ottawa scores late to draw against Montreal in Northern Super League

Delaney Baie Pridham scored two minutes into stoppage time to pull even as Ottawa Rapid FC drew 1-1 against Montreal Roses FC on Sunday in the Northern Super League.

Pridham fired in a penalty kick near the top left corner with Montreal goalkeeper Gabrielle Lambert going the opposite way to knot the score up as the final whistle neared.

The penalty was a result of a foul called on Montreal defender Stephanie Hill.

After a scoreless opening half, Hill put the Roses on the board in the 53rd minute. 

Hill managed a one-touch effort with her knee off a corner kick from Mégane Sauvé to score.

Ottawa next visits AFC Toronto on June 7, while Montreal will host Vancouver Rise FC on June 7 at Stade Boréale.

‘Over the moon’ to be back with TFC, Edwards eager to return to playoffs

Europa League Roundup: Aston Villa routs Bologna to set up all-English semifinal

Ollie Watkins scored again as Aston Villa knocked out Bologna out of the Europa League in a 4-0 rout Thursday to set up an all-English semifinal against Nottingham Forest. Unai Emery’s team reached its second European semifinal in three seasons with a 7-1 aggregate victory. Watkins had netted twice in last week’s 3-1 win in the first leg of the quarterfinal in Italy, and the striker set the pace at Villa Park. He tapped in a low cross from the left provided by Morgan Rogers for a 1-0 lead after 16 minutes for his 100th goal for Villa.

Only a minute later, though, Villa doubled its lead when Emiliano Buendía scored from a tight angle. Rogers made it 3-0 with another angled shot in the 39th, and Ezri Konsa finished the scoring seconds before the final whistle. Villa reached the Champions League quarterfinals last season and is on course to secure a spot in the lucr...
