ESPN looking to topple Showstoppers in tonight’s final

EVER since their opening night loss, ESPN have upped their game and have not placed a foot wrong along their path to tonight’s final where they will face the defending champions Showstoppers.

However, Showstoppers themselves stumbled in the early stages of the tournament and have staged a remarkable comeback and are looking every bit of the champions that they are. It bills for an enthralling matchup between the two sides and the crowd will be divided at the Pouderoyen tarmac this evening.

ESPN had a fairly easy path to the final with comfortable wins on Tuesday.
They took on Ballers Empire in the quarter-final but found the going tough in the early stages of the game. However, Trevon ‘German’ Lythcott blasted in the only goal of the game in the 15th minute to ensure progression to the semi-finals.
In the matchup against the Dream Team, Pernell Schultz guaranteed ESPN a spot in the final. He scored in the seventh minute before closing off the game with a ‘Guinness Goal’ which meant ESPN won 3-0.

The Showstoppers, on the other hand, hit two late ‘Guinness Goals’ past Boom Bang to win their quarter-final 4-0. The goals came courtesy of Dexroy Adams and Stephon Jupiter in the 31st and 33rd minutes respectively.

In their semi-final against the West Side Ballers, the Showstoppers ran riot with Marvin Josiah netting three ‘Guinness Goals’ to leave the final score line at 6-0.
Action begins at 20:00hrs with a number of exhibition matches which will be followed by the third-place play-off and then ESPN will take on Showstoppers to determine the ‘Greatest of the Streets’.

The winners of the tournament will claim $400 000 and the championship trophy while the runners-up will receive $200 000 and the corresponding accolade.
The third-place finishers will receive $150 000 and a trophy, while the fourth-place unit will walk away with $100 000 and a trophy.
