Won 2, drawn 2, lost 2. Goals for (19), goals against (16)

If you look at the two teams record's today there was very little between them as they each had two wins, two draws and two losses. Statistically, W London had been in the higher scoring games whereas BK Manskomplex had been in tighter affairs. If this was to be an open game you would fancy W London to take the honours. Conversely, if it was a tight game you fancied the Swedish team could emerge victorious.

From the very beginning, W London asserted their dominance on the pitch, displaying their attacking prowess and clinical finishing. The first half saw West London take control of the match, with an impressive 4-1 lead at halftime.

Leading the charge for West London was the prolific Malek Mansour, who put on a spectacular display of goal-scoring prowess. Mansour proved to be a constant threat to the BK Manskomplex defense, netting an astonishing four goals in the final. His remarkable performance in the tournament reached new heights, with a total of eight goals to his name.

Joining the scoring spree was Maxime Roche, West London's talented forward. Roche added two goals to his tournament tally, showcasing his ability to find the back of the net with precision and finesse. With seven goals to his name in the tournament, Roche played a crucial role in West London's attacking dominance.

Darius Plummer, another key player for West London, added to the goal-fest with a well-taken strike. Plummer's ability to create opportunities and capitalize on them was on full display, further solidifying his impressive tournament performance with a total of nine goals. The top scorer for his team and second in the goal-scoring charts overall.

Although BK Manskomplex fought valiantly, it was Mehdi Mohammadi who managed to find the back of the net for them, providing a consolation goal. With four goals in the tournament, Mohammadi's effort was not enough to turn the tide in their favour.

As the final whistle blew, West London emerged victorious with a resounding 7-1 scoreline. Their dominant performance throughout the match showcased their offensive prowess and it was their triple threat in front of goal that powered them to victory. The win solidified their impressive run in the tournament and crowned them as the champions of the Amsterdam Fives Plate.

We'd like to thank BK Manskomplex for attending and offer our commiserations for the Final. They fought bravely but ultimately fell at the final hurdle. They earned runners-up medals in the presentation to cushion the blow. We hope they will join us again next summer.

Many congratulations to our winners – W London. They proved to be the superior side, claiming a well-deserved victory. The 2023 Amsterdam Fives Plate Final will be long remembered as a thrilling encounter filled with goals and remarkable firepower up front. They certainly showed they had the ability to compete not only successfully at Plate level but also at Cup level if they could secure this level of performance from Round 1. The future's bright!
