IE University’s indoor football team won the Championship of the “Liga Interpabellones”

IE University’s indoor football team won the Championship of the “Liga Interpabellones” beating a team from of the restaurant chain Maribel 3 goals to 1.

The players from IE University arrived at the final in peak condition after completing an excellent play-off series. However, their opponent had defeated them on both the occasions that they met this season, the approach to this game therefore required lots of tactical thinking and a huge amount of physical exertion.

Following a very even first half, the game opened in the final stretch with a goal from Maribel five minutes before the break. This threat was quickly neutralized thanks to a goal from Ina in an extraordinary penalty. The first half finished with a 1-1 tie.

During the start of the second half things were going the same way, but with more possession than the opposition and a good defense IE Universities team was able to break away and locate the opposition golly, as happened six minutes from the end where Samuel finished off a personal  effort and took the team ahead.

The last few minutes were very intense with Maribel trying everything, including a golly/striker combo, but our boys didn’t permit even the slight possibility of a goal for the Maribel team.

A good tackle from Wey – a shot from the border of their own area – just over a minute from the end and the game was settled, IE University was crowned Champion in its third “Liga Interpabellones” final.
