Game
14 promised to be an enthralling encounter as
Quayaquil 100% were on the charge for Cup qualification.
Since opening game defeat they had won 3 on
the spin. FC Dukesfield had led at the end of
Round 2 and Round 3 of Group B but one narrow
defeat and they were in 4th . How would they
react?
With
Scorgasm FC and Inter Urmum to come FC Dukesfield
knew only a win would really be good enough
although a draw would serve Quayaquil 100% well
and give them Cup qualification. If they wanted
to win the group though the Ecuador team would
need to win and win by more than Inter Urmum.
So
far, FC Dukesfield games had only seen three
goals in four games. In the first-half alone
there were three goals in this fixture – it
was not surprising as they needed to win and
therefore needed goals. However, it was Quayaquil
100% who led at the break thanks to their twin-pronged
attack of Zapata and Cuedillos who scored one
each. Michael Crane scored for FC Dukesfield
to keep them in the hunt.
As
the game progressed though Quayaquil 100% reinforced
their claim on Cup qualification and also the
Group B title as Zapata went goal crazy – he
scored a hat-trick, four for the game and 8
for the tournament. Rolando Acuazado also got
on the scoresheet. Although Ian Watts scored
for FC Dukesfield it was never going to be enough
at this stage as Quayaquil 100% ran out 6-2
victors. With four successive wins they were
going to be a tough team to stop in the knock-out
phase.
The
defeat condemned FC Dukesfield to the Plate
competition but still very much with the chance
of winning silverware.
