Chemistry and Wood Product Engineering have now qualified to the finals of the ongoing CBN cup after winning their semi-final games against Petroleum Engineering and Architecture, respectively, at the SUB pitch on 8th February 2024.
In a contested match
that was played around 1:00, Chemistry, who had been on a good run of form
after thumping their previous opponent 5-1, were held to a full-time draw
against Petroleum Engineering in a game that was decided on penalties with Chemistry coming out on top.
in the second semi-final, played later in the day around 3pm, Wood Products Engineering and Architecture faced off in the second semifinal match, with the game ending in a stalemate in a similar manner to the Chemistry-Petroleum Engineering game. The game also went on to penalties with Wood Product Engineering scaling through to the finals.
Goals, upsets, spectacular football, pitch side drama,
frantic penalty shootout and other nerve-wracking events typical of a cup
competition were all present in the competition.
After sixty-four games and thirty-two teams, including teams like Physiology, Computer Science, Medicine and Surgery whose elimination was a significant upset alongside other teams, the competition now comes down to Chemistry and Wood Product Engineering, who will square off in an exciting final showdown.
