Ladies and Gentlemen, We have a Winner!

Slycujos Gladiators edged Antartis 2-0 and won the SC for the first time. Gladiators are the second Australian team to win the SC, with the last one being Klaebs Kings back at season 96. The Australians finished an amazing campaign, winning all of their games.

Slycujo: First of all congratulations to Trospe for reaching the final and being a great opponent! I think the early goal gave confidence to my boys and they performed extremely well after that. The match was in balance and not many mistakes occurred. We put up the pressure and doubled our lead so we just had to play safe the third part of the game. I am so pleased to win this Trophy and would love to say thanks to by two biggest supporters: Klaebs and Advent!
Something have started in the Australian League several seasons ago and has improved significantly in the past few months. If we have a couple of big names rejoin the first division we will be competing more often on the International stage.

trospe: Bad result for me. His goalkeeper made miracles but mine didn't. Also my midfield and attackers didn't play well. I'm a little upset and unhappy but that's ML, you can't always win. Congrats to the Champion.

Match Report: Gladiators scored by their first chance of the game, Darkhorse kicked a free-kick towards Rudoarius and the later put into the net at the 13 minute. Antartis didn't freak out and had several chances to equalise with the best coming at the 35 minute as Barry Chuckle's header was saved by Ballcruncher who saved also Simon Richard shot a bit later. No further chances were made until the second half.
Gladiators opened the second half with a lot of pressure as they seeked a second goal and found it at the 61 minute. Yta Cruel headed in Acid Sorcerer's corner to double the lead. Antartis then put a non-stop pressure in order to head back into the match but couldn't find the target. Gladiators on the other hand could have scored the third but Gianluigi Buffon saved Sorcerer's shot at the 79 minute. Neither team found the target afterwards and Gladiators' players celebrated at the end.
