Bent St A drub Back Circle enroute to VP Futsal Championship

Tournament hosts Bent St A crushed Back Circle 4-1 to capture the second VP “Champion of Champions” Futsal Cup on Wednesday evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH), Homestretch Avenue.
In front of a large crowd, Bent St A opened the scoring in the 11th minute after a flat cross into the area was misdirected into the back of the net by the challenging defender. It was the only goal of the first half, which was 20 minutes in duration, as defence dominated the game.

However, Back Circle gave their fans a reason to celebrate after equalising in the 23rd minute, compliments of Ravin Naughton, who blasted a shot from the right side into the lower left corner.
Nonetheless, Bent St A reclaimed the lead five minutes later as Colin Nelson scored after an attempted pass into the path of Bevney Marks was allowed to slip through his legs and settle into the back of the net.
Marks then made it 3-1 in the 35th minute as he found the back of the net, rolling the ball past the advancing goalkeeper into the lower right corner from inside the left of the penalty area.

The victory was then sealed in the final minute as Marks completed his brace, slamming the ball into the roof of the right corner from inside the left of the penalty area.
With the win, Bent St A received $1,000,000 and the championship trophy, while Back Circle collected $500,000 and a trophy.
In the third-place playoff, Team Spirit bested Bent St B 3-2. Due to the win, Team Spirit walked away with $300,000 and a trophy, while the loser pocketed $200,000 and a trophy.
