The
second final of the day would see ZVC Indoor Gent
versus Trilution. With the equivalent* of seven
games of football already under their belt the
two teams would need to summon one last burst
of energy to ensure they would be picking up winners
and not runners-up medals in the presentation.
*
Trilution played one game less in the group phase
but the games were longer to compensate so the
amount of football played was the same.
As
we did with the Trophy Final, let's have a look
at the form guide:

The
stage was set, let's get the action underway.
ZVC
Indoor Gent had looked like Plate champions elect
since this knock-out competition began but this
was certainly their most difficult obstacle yet.
Not just because it was the Plate Final and you'd
expect the strongest team to reach the final but
also because Trilution FC had won the Plate here
before in 2016.
It
did not seem to worry ZVC Indoor Gent though as
they continued along their steady path to victory.
Michael Ingels fourth strike of the tournament
game them a 1-0 lead.
