August 16 match outcome investigation & context

Re. the poor refereeing / calls on field from Sunday August 16 2026 game against MTL.

Context for those who missed the game (give or take some additional poor calls)
- TOR goal in 38’ by Hunter. Ball clearly crossed line, with Karpenko “saving” behind the line and putting ball back into play. No goal awarded.
- Penalty shot granted to MTL despite penalty occurring outside the box (status of penalty also debatable). Resulted in MTL goal 55’ by Alidou
- TOR goal in 68’ by Zadorsky (header off a corner kick) called back as “offside”. Was very much not offside.

Can I get tickets at the stadium on matchday?

Just moved into York University residence (and just landed in Canada!), and looking to see the local football scene at Lions Stadium. Would I be able to get tickets at the stadium on matchday? Or do I have to order on ticketmaster?

Sabrina D'Angelo Interview: Playing with a Broken Wrist, Saving Penalties, and Returning Home to the NSL

Hi Northern Super League fans,

Thank you for your support on our past interviews with the league, it has been such a joy to work with such incredible athletes!

Today, AFC Toronto and Canadian National Team goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo sits down to discuss life in the Northern Super League!

Olympic Medalist and fearless shot-stopper joins the podcast to share insider insights on AFC Toronto's 2026 season and the Canadian National Team ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

She shares what it meant to earn her first international cap, her experience winning a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, what standing on that podium meant to her personally, and where that accomplishment ranks among her career milestones as she guides Canada into the 2027 cycle with her seniority and leadership.

Sabrina also talks about the iconic 2016 NWSL Championship final where she won Finals MVP with the Western New York Flash after making three massive penalty saves in the shootout! She takes us into the goalkeeper's mindset ahead of each kick, the role of preparation and scouting the opposition's top shooters, and the unique attributes that make a top goalkeeper so incredible at stopping penalties.

Sabrina shares why the Arsenal project and making the move to the WSL from Sweden's Damallsvenskan was appealing to her, how the chance to compete in the Champions League factored into her decision, and how she maintained her confidence through major career obstacles, including playing through a broken wrist for the Flash and bouncing back from a devastating 2020 ACL tear.

Lastly, she shares how she reflects on the high-pressure 2024 Paris Olympics, her advice to her younger self on handling outside noise, what it means to finally play club football at home in Canada after years of national team advocacy for the NSL, her vision board for her short and long-term career goals, and so much more!
