On day two, Kickerz took on XIFT FA in their third group game, unfortunately losing out by the slender of margins, 4-3.
This set up a final against XIFT FA, in what turned out into a thrilling encounter.
The Indian outfit raised to a 3-0 advantage at the end of the first half as they stunned the Kickerz U19’s.
The lads from Sri Lanka bounced back in sublime fashion, scoring 3 unanswered goals, as the match drew to an end after full time with scores level at 3-all.
This meant the game went into a penalty shoot-out. Two XIFT FA players held their nerve to convert from the spot but only one Kickerz player was able to successfully score off the spot as XIFT FA ended the game as winners from the shoot-out.
