Talk about making a statement! With the league's top ranked team officially eliminated, the door was wide open for a new champion to emerge.

Meanwhile, #2 seed Vietnam FC squared off against #3 seed We'll Come Up With Something in the other semifinal, and Vietnam FC came ready to put on an offensive show! The second seed delivered the highest scoring performance of the evening, finding the back of the net an impressive seven times on its way to a commanding 7-2 victory. While We'll Come Up With Something managed to put two goals on the board, Vietnam FC's offense proved too much to overcome. With a five-goal victory under their belt, Vietnam FC punched their ticket to the finals and entered the championship match with plenty of momentum!

With the championship on the line, #2 Vietnam FC and #4 Los Papis squared off in a matchup that nobody would have predicted based on the original seeding! Los Papis had already proven they could take down the league's top team, while Vietnam FC was coming off a dominant semifinal performance. The championship turned into a tightly contested battle, with both squads finding opportunities to score and neither team able to completely run away with the game. Los Papis continued their impressive underdog run, putting two goals on the board and keeping the pressure on the second seed. But Vietnam FC had just enough firepower to get the job done!

When the final whistle sounded, Vietnam FC emerged victorious with a thrilling 3-2 win, officially claiming the Friday Night Co-Ed Soccer Championship!
