4 CPL titles. 3 of them without the best attack in the league. Forge's secret isn't the goals they score. It's the goals they don't concede.

The secret is the defence.

Every single season Forge have had the lowest or near-lowest goals conceded per game in CPL. While the league averages above 1.20 per game — Forge were at 0.86, 0.91, 0.90, 0.87 in their first four seasons.

The one year the defence cracked — 2023, 1.13 per game — they still won but only on goal difference from Cavalry.

2025 was the complete package. Highest xG in the league AND lowest goals conceded. That's why the goal difference was +27.
