Despite their efforts, No Limit seized an opportunity and scored the first goal. Before the first half ended, No Limit found another opening and scored a second goal.
Girl Power scored a goal in the second half, displaying a different game strategy. However, it wasn’t enough, as they failed to increase their score. Meanwhile, No Limit again took the offensive and secured a third goal. Both teams made close attempts in the remaining time, but no additional goals were scored, leading to No Limit’s 3-1 victory at the final whistle.
