In a thrilling finale of One Future Football Season 3, Brasil Amazônia triumphed over South London United with a decisive 4-1 victory in Dubai, securing their first-ever title.
The match kicked off with both teams eager to seize control. Within the first minute, João Geraldes of Amazônia attempted a shot, but his effort was comfortably saved, setting the tone for a fast-paced encounter. South London United quickly responded through Hasan Sabry, whose shot went wide of the target, and Renzo Moyano's ambitious volley shortly after also missed the mark.
Amazônia continued to press, with Andrea Olivieri coming close in the 5th minute, his shot ricocheting off the post—a sign of the attacking intent that would define the Brazilian side’s approach. South London struggled to create clear chances in the early exchanges, with their efforts either off-target or comfortably dealt with by the Amazônia defence.
In the 30th minute, the deadlock was finally broken by Thiago Barros, who capitalised on a swift counter-attack. Barros received a precise through ball by Guilherme Orlando before calmly slotting the ball past the South London goalkeeper Fode Diaby, giving Amazônia a 1-0 lead.
Despite the setback, South London United didn’t waver. They continued to push forward, and their persistence paid off just before half-time. Ruben Sinclair, who has shown significant improvement throughout the season, got on the end of an Amit Prasad knockdown and swept it home, levelling the score at 1-1 and giving his team a vital lifeline going into the break.
The second half saw South London United come out with renewed energy. They created several opportunities early on, with Renzo Moyano and Hasan Sabry both missing chances to put their team ahead. Moyano, in particular, was left frustrated after a powerful shot in the 51st minute was saved brilliantly by the Amazônia goalkeeper Avery Joseph.
However, it was Amazônia who would capitalize on their chances. In the 60th minute, a well-worked team move saw José Rios whip in a dangerous cross, which was met by Guilherme Orlando. Orlando, who had been a constant threat throughout the match, timed his run perfectly and nodded the ball home to restore Amazônia's lead at 2-1.
South London United, now trailing, made tactical adjustments, shifting to a 4-3-1-2 formation in an attempt to regain control of the match. But this change left them vulnerable at the back, and Amazônia took full advantage. In the 79th minute, substitute Nemer Mekdad found Patrick Zimmerman with a pinpoint pass. Zimmerman, not known for his goalscoring ability, did not disappoint, calmly finishing to extend the lead to 3-1.
Just two minutes later, Amazônia delivered the knockout blow. Thiago Barros, having opened the scoring, added a second to his tally in the 81st minute. Barros was again the beneficiary of some brilliant build-up play, finishing off a Flavio Castilho assist with aplomb to make it 4-1.
With a three-goal cushion and less than ten minutes remaining, Amazônia manager Cadu Caos and his team could finally breathe easy. The Brazilian side expertly managed the remaining minutes, ensuring no late drama, and at the final whistle, the celebrations began. Brasil Amazônia were crowned the Season 3 champions of One Future Football, a title that was fully deserved given their consistent excellence throughout the season.
South London United, despite the defeat, have much to be proud of. under manager FPL Raptor. Their journey from finishing bottom of the league last season to reaching the final this year has been remarkable. Ruben Sinclair’s equaliser in the first half was a testament to their fighting spirit, but ultimately, they were outclassed by a superior Amazônia side.
For Amazônia, this victory marks the beginning of what could be a period of dominance in One Future Football. With players like Thiago Barros, Joao Geraldes, Dani Viana and Guilherme Orlando leading the charge, the future looks incredibly bright for the new champions. Congratulations to Cadu Caos, his team, and all their supporters for an unforgettable season.
