CALGARY — Valour FC’s post-season drought reached four long years Sunday afternoon.
Winnipeg’s Canadian Premier League side was beaten 2-1 by Cavalry FC at ATCO Field and thereby eliminated from contention for a playoff berth.
Fifth-place Valour is now winless in its last four games and has 37 points on a 10-7-10 mark.

Former Valour striker Ali Musse’s hard blast found its way behind goalkeeper Rayane Yesli in the 91st minute to seal the Winnipeggers’ fate.
Joe Mason had given the hosts a 1-0 lead in the 39th minute before Billy Forbes tied the game 1-1, heading Sean Rea’s pass behind Cavalry goalkeeper Marco Carducci in the 48th minute.
Rea’s assist was his league-leading ninth of the season, adding to his league record total.
Valour’s elimination also clinched a playoff spot for Calvary, currently tied for second with Forge FC with a 13-5-9 record for 44 points and one game remaining.
Forge, meanwhile, has two games left on its slate.
Fourth-place Pacific FC, which is 12-7-7 for 43 points, has two games remaining.
Valour’s regular-season finale on the road against eighth-place FC Edmonton on Oct. 8 has no significance to the post-season race.
The Winnipeggers have finished sixth, sixth and fifth, respectively, since their debut season in 2019.
Valour is just 1-0-5 in six visits to Calgary dating back to its inaugural season.
Defender Stefan Cebara was hit with his fourth yellow card and will be suspended for Saturday’s game in Edmonton.
