⚡ Stugatz FC – shorthanded, but never broken.
Now, let’s talk about Stugatz FC, because their match against CSC was pure drama. Stugatz started the game shorthanded, missing key players, and found themselves under immediate pressure. But their goalkeeper made a crucial penalty-kick save that completely shifted the momentum. That stop wasn’t just a save; it was a turning point. J. Mueller scored twice and N. Gradini added the third as Stugatz pulled off a 3-1 win. To CSC, who fell to 1-2: R. Hilary scored your goal, and you pushed a young team to the brink.
