Ledesma’s laser gives Cosmos a draw at FC Edmonton 11 Aug 2017 The Cosmos midfielder smacked a left-footed shot from 20 yards out that swerved just inside the post, giving Eddies keeper Tyson Farago absolutely no chance.

Corea’s two missiles help FCE trump the Indy Eleven 5 Aug 2017 But, the Eddies kept creating scoring chances in the second half. And, a funny thing happened. The ball started going in. Dustin Corea’s brace bookended Albert Watson’s barely-crossed-the-line effort, and the Eddies got a 3-1 win.

Fordyce returns: FC Edmonton welcomes back team’s all-time leading scorer 18 Jul 2017 FC Edmonton finished the NASL spring season with a league-low 11 goals for in 16 games played. So, getting the team's all-time leading goalscorer back into the fold is welcome news.

"The club made him what I thought was a very good offer. But a club like ours can't compete with the bigger soccer markets in the United States, and the Canadian dollar kills us."
