BOYS' FINAL: Inter 3-2 Milan

Today's match was a worthy final and the two teams went at each other hammer and tongs from first to last.
Inter completely dominated the opening minutes but couldn't score. Dylan set up Giorgio in the middle but his shot was wildly off-target. Next, Jacopo got off a fantastic shot from point-blank range but Virginia brought off a reaction save that will go down in the annals of Intramural history. Dylan ran onto a header from the subsequent corner but his effort was just over. Twice more Virginia denied Jacopo in this opening sequence but then Dylan did finally break the deadlock with a determined run and shot.
Finally Milan woke up and a speculative long-range shot from Michele evened up the scoreline.
At this stage, it was an even match and the most fascinating tussle was taking place between two 6th-grade players, Edoardo and Dylan.
Dylan today was in fine form; he tackled fiercely, ran well and passed cleverly. But Edoardo matched him step for step and divided his time between Dylan and Jacopo.
With 12 minutes still to play, Jacopo pounced to make it 2-1 but Milan re-doubled their efforts in attack. Inter defended a series of corners and looked to be escaping but Edoardo got a foot to a loose ball and poked it home: 2-2.
Milan now smelled victory and continued to throw men into attack, but this was their undoing. A bad bounce saw Dylan and Jacopo in the clear with only Virginia to beat and Dylan cooly slotted home the winning goal in this year's championship.
