Sea Hawks 1-0 Up Country Lions
The battle between the two heavyweights did show some sparks in the first half but without the goals. Both sides shared almost equal possession but the Lions’ had the better chances which weren’t converted.
However, with the game seemingly heading to a goalless draw it needed a strike of precision from Dhanushka Madushanka to beat the diving Sujan Perera. The former Sri Lanka U19 skipper dispossessed the defender and then curled the ball beyond Perera to the bottom corner ensuing mass celebration from the players and the bench.
