In the 4th quarter-final of the Fondegal Youth Club 9 A-side Interward Football Tournament 2025, Cumborda Sports Club edged past Novovaddo Sports Club United 4–3 in a tense penalty shootout to book their spot in the semi-final. The match was held on Thursday at the St Alex Church ground in Curtorim.
Despite heavy rains and slushy ground conditions, both teams played with high energy, creating multiple scoring opportunities. Myson of Novovaddo S.C. made several attempts but was unable to break through Cumborda’s solid defence. Cumborda also missed several open chances, and the first half ended goalless.
The second half continued in similar fashion with both teams struggling to convert chances due to the rain-soaked pitch. With the scoreline still 0–0 at full-time, the game moved into a penalty shootout, where Cumborda S.C. held their nerve to win 4–3.
