Apolo
Legends and Dynamo Leila were both in action
next on Pitch 5. Apolo Legends began with a
1-0 win and could join Humble Goats at the top
if they could win this one. Dynamo Leila slipped
to a 1-0 defeat in their first game but had
played well so they could take confidence from
the performance if not the result.
Dynamo
Leila gained the early advantage in this match
with Ed Main showcasing his goal-scoring ability.
He found the back of the net twice in the first
half to give Dynamo Leila a comfortable 2-0
lead heading into the halftime break.
In
the second half, Dynamo Leila continued their
dominant performance and quickly extended their
lead. Captain Barney Oates capitalized on a
scoring opportunity, further strengthening Dynamo
Leila's position to 3-0. Apolo Legends refused
to be discouraged and fought back with determination.
Pieter-Bas Berendsen managed to pull one back
for his team and reduce the deficit to 3-1.
Berendsen's goal injected some hope into Apolo
Legends' efforts to mount a comeback, but it
was too little too late.
The
result of this match marked a significant victory
for Dynamo Leila – their first of the tournament
which could be the catalyst to see them drive
up the table.
