The match ended in a draw after regular time, pushing both teams into extra time. Despite valiant efforts from both sides, the scoreline remained unchanged, leading to a decisive penalty shootout. Our team showed composure under pressure and delivered an outstanding performance, winning the penalties 4-1, with our goalkeeper playing an important role in securing the win.
W e would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Marco 09 for their warm reception and the fantastic atmosphere they provided. It was a true display of football spirit both on and off the field, and the sportsmanship shown by both teams was commendable.
