Integrity Strikers doubled the number of goals they scored against Bella Vista the first time they met.  Their Captain E. Mangar, found the back of the net four times in a game which they dominated from start to finish.  Israel Cucul (Integrity Strikers) was sent off after 2nd yellow card for a hard challenge against Jonathan Rodriguez (Bella Vista), who retaliated with flying fists and was also sent off for getting a second yellow.  Manuel Zavala (Bella Vista) joined in the scuffle and was red carded as well.  This took place in the 75 min of the game and Bella Vista eventually walked off the field having conceded defeat.

Championship Game

Mavericks FC 0 [0] – Estrellas FC 3 [2]

Goals

Estrellas FC

                 Ricky Rickets                            10

Glenford Hines Jr.   42

                 Ralph Flores                             87

Mavericks’ fans came out for revenge against Estrellas who had defeated them 7-1 in their qualifying game.  But after their goal keeper failed to collect cleanly a shot from Flores in the 10th minute which came off the upright, allowing the poaching Rickets to easily tap the rebound into the back of the net, they found it an uphill battle for the rest of the game which was totally dominated by the younger and more vibrant Estrellas who demonstrated good technically skill in their passing of the ball.  Mavericks did get one in the back of the net in the second half but it was ruled offside by the assistant referee.  FWC-2007 Champions Estrellas FC.
