It drew a large and enthusiastic crowd, which saw a fiercely contested match as both teams played with exceptional skill and determination, delivering a high-energy performance from kick off to the final whistle.
In a physical and hard-fought 90 minutes, neither side was willing to give an inch, and the match ended in a 1–1 draw.
