Fully Deserved
Grilled captain
Ha Qicai applauded Barang Tuk-Tuk after their win. "We gave it everything we had, but it wasn't enough. Barang had quality basically all over the field, and while we have lost some matches recently, I daresay we have never encountered quite the level of control that they brought today."
Barang Tuk-Tuk will then face Futbol Profesional Colombiano club medialuna for the trophy, with medialuna earning their passage by defeating Paraguay II.2 leaders Winning ugly 4-3 in the other semifinal. It could really have gone either way, but Fernando Martínez decided the game in the 76th minute, right after Ott Nagla had equalized a second time for Winning.
Lim An Keng reckoned that the final would be a close one, but that Barang held a slight edge. "They should have the advantage in possession, and that should be enough for them to eke out the win." he predicted. "Not that I have any favourites personally."
