FINAL: Barcelona 3-3 Bayern Munich (Barcelona win 8-7 after penalties)

The Autumn Intramural witnessed a worthy final at Ambrit Stadium today as the German and Spanish champions traded punches right to the end of a pulsating tie.
Aden had a chance to put the Germans ahead from a corner when he had a free header at the far post but be missed the target. Andrea fired in a shot too but it was Captain Gabriele - the Best Player of the Tournament - who opened the scoring with a powerful drive into the top corner.
Louis kept the score down with a good save from an impressive Lorenzo; Aden hit the bar; Alex scored the inevitable second goal.
But Barcelona reacted immediately. In the absence of Edo P, their real captain, Ascanio, took the game by the scruff of the neck. After an exciting double exchange with Edo J that put him in front of the goal, he smashed the ball in to make it 2-1 at half time.
But Bayern were more alert from the kick off and attacked immediately. A shot from Alex was only half-saved by Louis and, from the resulting rebound, Lorenzo picked out his captain and Gabriele made it 3-1.
Now the balance swung again. Edo J inspired his team with a forceful run down the right and a fantastic cross that should have been met by a team mate but instead went out. Time for Ascanio to come to the rescue again, and he did: another goal made it 3-2 and the tide was with the Catalans. They poured forward and, under pressure in his own area, Tristano's arm blocked an Edo J cross and the referee pointed to the spot.
Ascanio blasted the penalty against the bar but Edo J reacted an instant before Gabriele and bundled the ball over the line to tie a historic game at 3-3.
The standard of penalty-taking was high and one miss was enough to decide the match in Barcelona's favour.
