Things are starting to come together for FC Edmonton and head coach Jeff Paulus.

An impressive 3-1 win against Pacific FC on Saturday at Clarke Field lifted FC Edmonton into a first-place tie with Cavalry FC in the Canadian Premier League Fall Competition.

FC Edmonton travel to face Calvary FC of Calgary on Friday with an opportunity to move into top spot outright.

“Our goal is to finish top two in overall points,” Paulus said after Saturday’s victory. “I know that it’s a split season and I know how you get to championship final in this league, but we want to be top-two in overall points and this gets us between four points of Forge FC.

“This is our goal and this will be our goal until the end. This is the ambition of our club, we want to be up there. We should be wanting to push to try and catch Calgary in the overall points as well. We know they’re quite a bit ahead, but this is where we want to be as a team at the end of the year.”
