The three teams played a double round-robin, and the rankings were determined by points.
In the first match between FC LEGEND and FC Takkun, FC LEGEND quickly took the lead with a spectacular goal directly from the kickoff. However, FC Takkun equalized with a powerful long-range shot, then added two more goals to successfully take the lead. FC LEGEND had a one-on-one situation where the goalkeeper made a big save, preventing further goals. They then scored a knuckler directly from the kickoff that left the keeper motionless, narrowing the gap to one goal, but the final whistle blew, giving FC Takkun the victory.
The match between FC Takkun and OB was dominated by OB until midway through the game. After that, both teams created chances but failed to convert, resulting in a back-and-forth battle. Just before the final whistle, an FC Takkun player received a pass on the left wing, dribbled past the keeper, and shot. It was a big chance, but the ball wasn't struck cleanly, missing the goal. The match ended in a draw.

In the match between FC LEGEND and OB, FC LEGEND's goalkeeper caught a back pass from a teammate, giving OB an indirect free kick, from which they scored first. Although an unexpected goal opened the scoring, immediately after, an FC LEGEND player on the left wing received the ball, used a brilliant feint to beat his opponent, and scored a powerful shot that hit the post and went in, equalizing the score. Riding that momentum, they scored a second goal a minute later, but OB, not wanting to lose, reacted to a through ball from the center and scored a magnificent shot through the keeper's legs, leveling the score once again. Three minutes later, they scored a goal from a dribble through the center, turning the game around just before the final whistle.
After the round-robin matches, OB emerged victorious, undefeated. Congratulations!
The next 6-a-side Soccothon tournament is scheduled for November. We look forward to your participation!
