In
the penultimate game of Group A, Ruta Uno FC
faced Riises Pieces in a match that had significant
implications for both teams. Riises Pieices
had to win the game to reach 6 points and ensure
they'd go through on goal difference – anything
less and BK Manskomplex would go through instead.
Riises Pieces could climb to third place with
a goal win. A 2 goal win would give Ruta Uno
FC and Riises Pieces a +2 goal difference but
Ruta Uno FC would finish higher on goals scored.
Ruta Uno FC were through as long as they didn't
lose by a cricket score – it was just whether
they finished 3 rd or 4 th .
Ruta
Uno FC had shown strong first-half performances
throughout the tournament, and they continued
this trend by taking a 1-0 lead at halftime,
thanks to a goal from Morgan Roberts—his second
of the tournament. Despite their strong start,
Ruta Uno FC encountered a challenging second
half. Riises Pieces responded with resilience
and determination. They first equalized through
Jack Thomas, leveling the score at 1-1. The
momentum then shifted decisively in favor of
Riises Pieces as Chris Maydom scored the winning
goal, giving Riises Pieces a 2-1 lead.
The
final whistle confirmed a 2-1 victory for Riises
Pieces. It was a vital second half comeback
that secured their place in the knock-out phase
at the expense of BK Manskomplex. Ruta Uno FC
had done enough to secure third position in
the table. Well done to both for reaching the
Plate competition.
