Workdaze made it to the final for the 3rd time in a row. The opponent was Survey FC again, although the Workdaze team was expecting the new team Citicars, which finished 1st in the regular season. But not only the opponent was a surprise. The Workdaze team got support from a record-breaking crowd: maybe 30+ Workday friends and family showed up to support the team.
Workdaze - Survey FC: This was the rematch of the classic final of last session. But it was by far not the same game. Last time, we had to wait until overtime and penalty shoot-out to find the winner. This time, it took only half the game until everybody knew who would leave the field as the winner.
The Workdaze team had the full squad available and played very focused: strong defense, great team effort, continuous sub'ing of players, and an always-dangerous offense. Everybody on the team wanted to make sure that the fans don't get disappointed.
By half-time, the Workdaze team led 3-0 with 2 goals by Joe and 1 goal by Ralf. The Survey team missed one of their best players and was far away from getting on the scoreboard.
In the second half, Survey scored a goal, but the win was never in danger. Joe's 3rd goal of the game made it clear. While the Survey team got more and more exhausted towards the end, Workdaze kept up the speed and was shooting from any position. Only an outstanding performance of the Survey goalie saved the team from a blow-out.
At the end, Workdaze defended the championship with a 4-1 win. After the game, the team and fans celebrated the back-to-back Division title in its traditional way: with a beer in the parking lot. But the celebrations continued in a local bar until late at night.
