“What just happened”: #3 Wessels SK defeated by #6 Oseaanmense Reg FC
In the round of 8 of the Báraarde Cup playoffs, Oseaanmense Reg FC defeated Wessels SK 3-1 in penalty kicks. The Wessels SK fans entered their home stadium thinking that this game would be a shoo-in—after all, they were the better team. But as the game went on, the stadium got quieter and quieter until there was barely any noise coming from the Wessels fans when penalty kicks came. Oseaanmense Reg is notorious for their excellent penalty kickers, so this game was in the bag for them by the time that whistle blew at the end of extra time.
The MVP of this game is obviously the Oseaanmense Reg defense. They prevented 6 Wessels attempts to score, with the keeper preventing an additional three. Their strategy was to come in, keep the game tied, and destroy Wessels SK in penalty kicks. This has been their strategy throughout the season, and is why they ended the season with 34 wins. However, we still have to wait and see how they will fare against the #2 team, Crabelo SK, who has the most Cup wins out of everyone in the Cup this year.
