The Champions League Final, the last game of the day, was between the two teams who started it all in the morning: Sr. Regina and Sr. Magda. Both teams played their hearts out and for the longest time the game remained 0 – 0.

Sr. Magda had pushed Sr. Regina completely back on their own half for the second part of the game. All the Sr. Regina players were in and around the penalty area defending their goal with all their might. The congestion of players made it extremely difficult to score. Sr. Magda created many changes, but was unable to put the ball between the posts or past Sr. Regina's secret weapon, goal keeper Ladisha Simmons, who made plenty of saves to keep her team in the game.
