However, the intensity of the game and the brilliance of the first half were not enough to secure victory. The Brava team, perhaps inflated by confidence, returned for the second half with a less intense pace. The Santiago team, recognizing the opportunity, intensified its pressure and began to reverse the situation. With a surprising comeback, Santiago managed to tie the game and eventually take the lead, ending the match with a final score of 8 to 7.
Despite the painful setback, the Brava team showed admirable dedication and team spirit. Each player gave their all, bringing honor to Brava and raising the standard of local futsal. The Brava team not only exceeded expectations, but also demonstrated the potential and quality of futsal on the island.
The Brava team will now have the opportunity to compete for third and fourth place, and although the dream of reaching the final narrowly escaped, the commitment and determination demonstrated are worthy of recognition and respect. We are deeply grateful to our athletes and the coaching staff, who, with their determination and talent, kept the island of Brava and its futsal on the rise in this tournament. The team's trajectory, full of emotion and struggle, will serve as an example of courage and resilience for future competitions.
