A thrilling comeback propelled the Montreal Alouettes to a nail-biting win over the Edmonton Elks, but who knew football could be so dramatic?
In a dramatic clash at Percival Molson Stadium, the Montreal Alouettes turned the tide against the Edmonton Elks with a stunning second-half comeback to clinch a 21-17 victory. The Alouettes had faced a tough opponent in the Elks, who came to Montreal hoping to secure a fourth consecutive win, a feat they hadn’t achieved in seven seasons. With the Alouettes leading the league and holding a 9-1 record, the stakes were high for both teams, setting the stage for a thrilling evening under the lights.
The first half saw the Elks leading 17-6, leaving Alouettes fans feeling anxious as their team struggled to find their rhythm.
