In the immortal words of the legendary Pelé, 'Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.' And tonight, the Voyageurs and Olds teams embodied every aspect of this sentiment as they clashed in a thrilling college futsal showdown.

From the kickoff, both teams displayed their determination, but it was Olds who struck first at the 23-minute mark, capitalizing on a broken play to put the pressure on. However, the Voyageurs quickly responded with relentless attacks, creating dangerous chances at the 19:56 mark and again just 30 seconds later, showcasing their offensive prowess.

As the first half progressed, the Voyageurs intensified their onslaught, putting relentless pressure on the Olds defense. But the Olds goalkeeper stood tall, making a crucial save to keep the game within reach.

The breakthrough finally came for the Voyageurs at the 6:08 mark, as Bjorn found the back of the net, courtesy of a brilliant passing play orchestrated by the team captain. Momentum swung firmly in favor of the Voyageurs, with Victor and Bjorn combining for a sensational give-and-go goal at 5:21, followed by another goal at 1:41, this time with Sheldon and Bjorn showcasing their telepathic understanding on the field.

But Olds refused to go down without a fight with Olds managing to find the net again at 9:02 through sheer determination.

With time running out, both teams pushed for every opportunity, with #3 from Olds displaying maximum effort on a goal at 3:47. However, it was the Voyageurs who had the final say, as Fiston unleashed a snipe at 1:14, sealing a memorable victory.

In the end, it was the Voyageurs who emerged victorious with a resounding 6-2 triumph over Olds, showcasing their unwavering commitment, teamwork, and passion for the beautiful game. As Pelé once said, 'The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.' And tonight, the Voyageurs experienced that happiness in its purest form.
