Going
into the final round of games, the top 2 places
had been settled. There were 3 teams left vying
for third place. Two of those teams would now
meet head-to-head as 3 Lions Touching Cloth
faced Fiorentina Turner. The two best third
placed teams across the 3 groups would qualify
for the Cup.
The
3 Lions element of 3 Lions Touching Cloth had
faced Fiorentina Turner twice at the 2018 Mallorca
Tournament. In the group phase Fiorentina Turner
1 thrashed 3 Lions, 7-0. In the Plate Final,
Fiorentina Turner 2 defeated 3 Lions FC, 3-1.
Could this be a hattrick of wins for Fiorentina
Turner?
Harry
Boys opened the scoring for Fiorentina Turner
as another win looked on the cards. He was a
scorer in the 7-0 win a year ago. There was
joy for 3 Lions Touching Cloth as Chris Baginsky
(veteran of all nine 3 Lions' tours) levelled
things up at 1-1. A draw wasn't much use for
either team as it looked like 9+ points would
be required to qualify for the Cup. In the “live”
league table 3 Lions Touching Cloth sat on 8
points, Fiorentina Turner on 7 as things stood.
The
teams needed a winner. Cometh the hour, cometh
the man and that man was Jonas Kihlstrom. His
goal gave Fiorentina Turner a vital win. They
moved up to third position and would now have
to wait to see if they had done enough to qualify.
