United Australia Cup 2018

The United Australia Cup #1 was a tournament played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, played over two legs on the 27th of December 2018. The final was won by Tbyrn21 Best, defeating United Australia 7-2 on aggregate.

Leg 1
The first leg started off with Seac Kolasinic scoring for United Australia in the 9th minute with a shot to the bottom right corner from 14 metres out. Whilst Tbyrn21 Best had a large amount of possession through the match, they generally failed to generate chances until the late stages. Christiano Ronaldo capitalized on one of these such chances in the second minute of injury time, leveling the tie at 1-1 which would be the end result of the match. Of note for United Australia was Olivier Giroud who failed to get a shot on target and had an all round poor game.

Leg 2
The second leg started opposite to the first. United Australia had the possession, but Tbyrn21 Best were the first to strike. Wendell broke the deadlock early with a solid shot just 4 minutes into the game. Ronaldo followed this up in the 26th minute to bring the lead to two goals. A defensive back pass from Shkodran Mustafi was poorly missed by Mat Ryan giving United Australia a goal in the 32nd minute, halving the lead. Edinson Cavani scored for Tbyrn21 best just 4 minutes later to bring the lead back to two at the half time break. At this point United Australia were running out of options. They had already used two substitutes and were beginning to massively vary their formation.

Ronaldo scored his second after the break in the 66th minute, with Radja Nainggolan following with another goal just 3 minutes after. United Australia then threw everything at it, including formations with just one, and then no, defender. This allowed Ronaldo to finish his hattrick in the 88th minute. The match finished 6-1.

Post match
