until a determined Lions came roaring back. Lions pressed the leaders
which resulted in an equalizing goal a few minutes later. The teams
exchanged chances that could have won the game for each of them.
Regulation time ended in a 1 - 1 draw.

counter attack which netted them the game clinching goal. As the
referee whistled the end of the extra time and the match, BPB Westroc
held on to a 3-1 scoreline to take the title from the defending
