FreeKick 2006- The Mega finals finally

August 30th

Finally the day of glory arrived. The stage was all set for a great final between the two best teams of the tournament, Cavaliers Vs Trojans. The spirit was high in both the teams and so was the tension. The teams took to ground at the designated time of 11pm amidst a highly supporting and anxious crowd.
The game got off to a great start with both teams fighting in the mid field for possession of the ball. There were some great moves constructed by Varun Prasad and Prabhkar for the Cavaliers. Jaycee and Vellu tried relentlessly to score goals but were off target. Arun Chacko supported by an injured Elango and the fast Naveen tried very hard for the Trojans. Cavaliers went up 1-0 towards the end of the first half off a corner kick.
In the 2nd half Trojans tried their heart out to go through the defenses of Cavaliers but Sankalan and Vivek held them back with a dedicated effort. Finally the game ended with the Cavaliers winning 1-0 and lifting the Freekick 2006 trophy.

Earlier in the evening Penalty United took on Real Mad-Ride for the 3rd place play-offs.
Penalty United and Real Mad-Ride got off to a great start with both teams trying hard to win the game. Real Mad-Ride tasted first blood when they scored in the first half to go through the defenses of Penalty United. Bhavesh Vikramaditya playing with an injured ankle tried hard to score for Penalty United but all his efforts were in vain.
The defense of Penalty United wasn’t able to withstand the attack of Real Mad-Ride and they scored 2 more goals in the course of the match to win the game 3-0.

The podium standings for Freekick 2006 are as follows:

1st – Cavaliers
