Final
It was yet another tight affair between Rudy and Anas in yet another final. Rudy dominated most of the game as Anas failed to maintain any sort of possession. However, Anas managed to defend well even after numerous corner flicks coming from Rudy. The game ended 0-0 at full time, bringing the Final to Sudden Death. Anas managed to utilize his possession and scored the crucial golden goal.
