Next
up was arguably the biggest game of the final
round. Brioche FS met KML. KML had lead Group
A in Rounds 1, 2 and 3 but a draw in Round 4
saw them slip to third position. 1 point ahead
of them were Brioche FS who lost their first
game but were now an excellent run of three
wins in a row. A fourth would see them secure
a place in the Cup and possibly win the Group
A title.
KML
could potentially lose and still go through
as one of the two best third placed teams but
it was by no means certain. A draw would see
the same situation but their hand strengthened
with 9 points instead of 8. A win would guarantee
them a place in the Cup and could win them the
group if FC Maroon lost their final game.
The
game started well for KML with Jurre van Putten
putting the Dutch team ahead. At half-time it
was KML who were the happier team, Brioche FS
had some work to do. It was the first goal the
Spanish had conceded since the opening game.
After
the break Brioche FS grabbed a goal themselves
as Assam Ndiaye Diome scored his fourth of the
tournament but KML would ensure victory with
a Remy Maduro goal. KML had lay down the gauntlet
in the Group A title race – FC Maroon, over
to you….
As it turned out, both teams had done enough to
reach the Cup. Congratulations to both. |
