In
the penultimate game of Group B, FNF on Tour
faced Cream of the South in a high-stakes encounter.
FNF on Tour, needing a significant victory to
challenge for a Cup spot, went into the match
with high expectations. FNF on Tour were 3 points
behind WWK DB and so had to win. They also needed
to overturn goal difference which currently
sat at +8 for WWK DB and -1 for FNF on Tour.
The impact of the 4-0 win for WWK DB between
these two sides was really coming to bear now.
The
game began with FNF on Tour taking an early
lead through Adewunmi Oluwo. Cream of the South
responded with a goal from Graham Connolly,
leveling the score. However, FNF on Tour quickly
regained the advantage as Oluwo scored his second
goal of the match.
Lev
Bellikli extended FNF on Tour's lead to 3-1,
and Oluwo completed his hat-trick to make it
4-1. Bellikli added his second goal, pushing
the score to 5-1. In their relentless pursuit
of goals, leaving gaps at the back was almost
inevitable, Cream of the South took advantage
managed to pull one back with a goal from Milo
Radojevic.
Idomile
Ominiyi further solidified FNF on Tour's lead
with a 6-2 scoreline, but the late goal rush
that FNF on Tour required didn't materialize
and the final score was 6-2 in favor of FNF
on Tour.
Despite
the victory, FNF on Tour fell short of the goal
difference required to advance to the Cup, and
will instead compete in the Plate. Cream of
the South, while saying farewell to the tournament,
provided their usual spirited performance and
will retire to the bar, leaving a lasting impression
on the competition.
