With the scores tied 2-2 at the end of regulation time, a penalty shootout was necessary.
At the end of the penalty shootout, both teams had 5 goals each.
The referee then applied the ‘sudden death’ rule, where if one team scores in one of the rounds but the other misses, the match ends and the scoring team wins the shootout.
The CPS player hit the back of the net while the STPS player managed to hit the upright.
Jubliant fans celebrated, it was a carnival like atmosphere in the Elquemedo T. Willett Park.
