A truly exciting final that spared no goals and emotions. Only the first few minutes were contained, then the two teams faced each other head-on throughout the match. Voltregà Stern Motor’s comeback from 2-1 to 2-3 seemed decisive, achieved in just over a minute at the end of the first 25 minutes. In the second half, the Portuguese put on their best moment often with the protagonist Hugo, author of the first three goals. Seixas and then Teixido strike in two quick transitions. Voltregà Stern Motor also needs a bit of luck because a shot by Teixido, deflected off the Portuguese defender into the goal, thus scoring the fifth and decisive goal that determines the final victory for Voltregà, the second in history after that of 2002.
