The contest had all the drama one expects from rink football — fast play, tight marking, and relentless energy. Both teams matched each other stride for stride, and after regulation time, the scoreboard read 3-3, setting the stage for a tense finish.
The match then moved into a penalty shootout. Neither side was willing to give an inch, and the kicks ended 4-4, pushing the final into sudden death. The pressure was immense, every shot carrying the weight of the championship. Amboli’s Jason Miranda stepped up but failed to convert, handing Rangers a golden chance.
