On the stroke of half time, Luis Benedetti made it 4-1 to MetroStars, and the side look like they were sailing into the Cup Final.

However, in a thrilling second half to finish the match, Julian Vella, Joseph Williams and Josh Moran scored within 10 minutes from the restart, and the scores were tied at 4-4.

But, it was MetroStars who prevailed in the end, when Mutunda completed his hat trick, scoring in the 60th and 61st minute.
