Ten enthusiastic footballers set off for DFC, brimming with hope and excitement. After a series of dominant group-stage performances, we felt almost unstoppable with every member of the squad playing a vital role in each game. Securing a comfortable second place on goal difference, we advanced confidently to the semi-finals.
In a relentless display of attacking football, we peppered the opposition’s goal time and again—only for the post, the crossbar, and an outstanding goalkeeper to deny us. As the minutes ticked away, the breakthrough remained elusive. Then, against the run of play, the opposition scored with their only shot of the game. Despite the heartbreak, we rallied to secure a well-earned third place.
A very proud coach couldn’t have been happier with the team’s effort, sportsmanship, and unwavering determination in every match.
