They had already scored their first goal and picked up a win in their inaugural match. But on Friday, FC Supra du Québec added another big milestone with their first-ever home victory in La Belle Province.
The decisive moment of the match, a 2-1 come-from-behind win over the Halifax Wanderers, had an unsurprising architect. In the 76th minute, midfielder Sean Rea cut in on his right foot, and sent a curling cross into the box that Safwane Mlah redirected past Marco Carducci for the winner.
It was the fifth chance that Rea had created in that match alone, a performance that earned him the Maple Lodge Player of the Week for matchweek four.
The attacking midfielder also had three shot attempts of his own, forcing a fantastic save from Marco Carducci on one of them, played 10 crosses and won possession nine times during 90 strong minutes of action.
In three matches, Rea has already proven to be the attacking catalyst for the league's newest club, who have played an outstanding brand of attacking football to begin their existence. Rea is the first Supra player to be named the league's Player of the Week.
After playing their first two home matches in club history at CEPSUM Stadium, Rea and Supra head to their permanent home at Stade Boréale this weekend, where they host Cavalry on Friday (3 p.m. ET).
Tickets are available here.
