WINNIPEG Early goals by Moses Dwyer and Austin Ricci gave Valour FC a 2-0 victory over defending Canadian Premier League champions Forge FC at Winnipeg s IG Field in the first game of the season for both teams. Dwyer scored from the penalty spot in the sixth minute after Dejan Jakovic took down Ricci in the box. Dwyer s stutter step in the run-up to his penalty was enough to throw off goalkeeper Triston Henry, who dove the right way but not far enough to reach the ball. Valour doubled its lead 20 minutes later through Ricci s determined individual effort. The 25-year-old forward intercepted a loose back pass from a Forge defender, darted towards goal, cut back to split two defenders before beating Henry low with a left-footed strike.
