MVP Guilherme De Lima Domingues.

“The final match was played under heavy rain but we were very competitive and didn’t give any chances to our opponents. Two early goals helped us to take control of the game and manage the time, and one more goal at the beginning of the second half sealed the win.”

The BISP Cruzeiro U10 boys also competed in the tournament from 2-3 November, joining a field of 40 U10 teams from neighbouring countries as well as Australia. The side finished fourth in their pool after some close matches and gained some valuable experience against several top academies and clubs. The competition was won by Turf City Singapore.

Both sides will be out in force at today’s Soccer 7s tournament. Follow BISP Daily for official tournament photos and visit www.bisp7s.com for schedules and results.
