To
wrap up Group A, in a highly anticipated clash
between Moles Salah and Colonel Getafe, we had
both teams vying for supremacy and qualification
to the Cup competition.
Before
kick-off, Moles Salah knew they had to win to
realistically qualify for the Cup. If they did,
and Skidmarks failed to win their last game, they
could even qualify as Group A winners. Colonel
Getafe had to avoid defeat and equal (or better)
Skidmarks result to progress to the knockout phase
as Group A victors.
The
first half of the game saw Colonel Getafe take
the lead, with Ben Watson scoring to put his team
ahead 1-0. The early goal gave Colonel Getafe
a crucial advantage.
As
the second half began, Colonel Getafe continued
to press forward, and their relentless attack
was rewarded with two more goals, both courtesy
of Oli Grossman. Grossman's double increased his
goal tally for the tournament to nine, solidifying
his position as the top scorer.
With
Colonel Getafe leading 3-0, it seemed that they
were in control of the match. However, Moles Salah
was determined to mount a comeback, and they managed
to reduce the arrears to 3-1 thanks to Henry Myers
fourth goal of the day. Despite Moles Salah's
efforts, Colonel Getafe's lead proved insurmountable.
The match ended with a final score of 3-1.
This
important victory allowed Colonel Getafe to secure
their place in the Cup competition and were just
two matches from the title. Moles Salah, although
facing defeat in this game, had performed well
in the group stage to qualify for the Plate with
realistic hopes of winning it.
