| Wolverhampton
win B17 2009 final: Cruzeiro
EC- Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, 2-4
In
the first half the Brazilians show off the same fast, technical game
that has been their trademark throughout the tournament. And shortly
it pays off. After a corner the ball finds Gabriel at the edge of the
box and with a low, hard shot he finds the net. After the goal Cruzeiro
slows down a bit and lets Wolverhampton back into the game, and are
punished for it. In a great offense James Spray finds Jack Price who
storms though the Brazilian defense and rolls it past the goalkeeper
for an equalizer. In the second half both teams continue to play with
high energy and a great deal of tough duels and in the 70th minute Wolves
star-player Nathaniel Mendez Laing got handed his second yellow card
and was sent off. The second half ends without a winner and a penalty
shootout is needed to determine a winner. In the penalty shootout, the
Wolverhampton goalkeeper saves his team with four brilliant saves and
brings home the gold medal to the British Isles.Man
