There was a lot of interest for the grand final between ‘Keyano Schiffelers’ and ‘Tom van Geffen’.

Keyanu entered the field with Manchester United and had to go up against Tom’s choice; Chelsea.
Both teams had fair chances in the first half, but eventually remained 0-0. After the break Keyanu took the lead and scored twice. Tom decided to change his setup and formation. This led to a goal and a tie maker, but not until the 88th minute when he passed from the side. Only during extra time Keyanu scored again earning him victory. With the final over Tom won a season pass 2018-2019 for Fortuna Sittard (this might even be Eredivisie). But the grand prize the custom Cheetah Bike bicycle wend to Keyanu.
