Guinea Grass got ahead early when Charles Tillett recorded the game opener in the 9th minute after a fumble by a defender.

But thereafter, Caribbean Rum Boyz took over. Camilo Sanchez hit a brace, scoring in the 30th off a penalty kick and another 53rd from close range for a 2-1 lead. The Finals MVP Irvin Osorio secured the game and championship with a 40-yard floater in the 70th minute.

But Guinea Grass fought back and got a second goal from Miguel Yco who converted a penalty-kick in the 79th for the final 3-2 score.
