World Masters 55 Play Classic – Final 🏆
The opening final of the Masters World Cup saw both our sides battle their way through to the final.
A seesaw game had everything — honesty, skill, drama and even a penalty save in normal time.
Blues took an early lead, 1–0, before Whites equalised, 1–1.
Whites were then awarded a penalty for a 5th offence. David Bendall from Whites told the referee he hadn’t been touched, and common sense prevailed, with the referee overturning his decision. 👏
Blues had a goal disallowed, which resulted in a penalty for a 5th offence being awarded to Whites. With 3 minutes left, the penalty was saved.
Whites then scored with a minute remaining to make it 2–1, before Blues snatched an equaliser with just 10 seconds to go! 2–2.
Penalties ended 3–3, with Blues winning 1–0 in sudden death.
What a final! 👏👏
Well done to both teams. ⚽️🏆
Special mention to our Founder — all Masters World Cup trophies are in his name, in his memory.
