Going
into the final round of games it was do or die
now for these eight teams. First up was Fiorentina
Turner 1 versus Naranjitos. Fiorentina Turner
1 knew they had qualified for the Plate regardless
of what happened in this game. If they could finish
third though, they could secure a (theoretically)
easier Quarter-Final draw. Similarly, Naranjitos
knew they would be playing in the Cup regardless
of this result but they would be Group B champions
if they could match or better the score of Galacticos
on Pitch C.
This
was the task facing Fiorentina Turner 1. Naranjitos'
group record at the Barcelona Fives read:
2014
Barcelona Fives: P4 W1 D1 L2 F8 A5 Points – 4
(3rd)
2015
Barcelona Fives: P4 W2 D1 L1 F8 A7 Points – 7
(2nd)
2016
Barcelona Fives: P7 W7 D0 L0 F21 A3 Points – 21
(1st)
2017
Barcelona Fives: P6 W5 D1 L0 F13 A1 Points – 16
(1st)
The
two teams were pretty evenly matched in direct
competition though and, ultimately, just one goal
would settle this fixure. Cometh the hour, cometh
the man and that man was Harry Boys. His goal
ensured victory for the English team. Fiorentina
Turner could also be proud of their defensive
display as the only team to shut out the Naranjitos
attack today.
The
result was a massively impressive result for Fiorentina
Turner 1. In the group phase of our tournaments,
Naranjitos had gone 16 games without defeat since
they began the 2015 tournament with a 3-2 defeat
to North London….until now!
