Match

Summary

Dreamplanet started the strongest of the two teams despite being the underdogs for the final, after a handball by Koetsu Okuyama gave Dreamplanet a free kick, Luis Silva crossed it in the path of Antonio Luis which was able to send a low strike into the goal to give Dreamplanet the lead, Kita-Hinode stayed confident despite being a goal down and Dreamplanet had an ill-advised tactics changed, reverting to more defensive positions. This eventually backfired when Jorge Cardozo's mistimed tackle brought down Cherry Whitecastle in the penalty area, resulting in a yellow card for Jorge Cardozo and Iori Saitou converting the penalty.

In the second half, Dreamplanet closed down on their defensive tactic, trying to grind out a tie that could see the match go into extra time, however the impasse only lasted until the 56th minute when Cherry Whitehouse got on the end of a Raiden Kojima cross and was able to head it in to take the lead for Kita-Hinode, a lead they would never let go of despite Dreamplanet switching to an attacking formation to attempt to salvage the game after parking the bus since they scored, Dreamplanet almost equalised when Aaron Hungar passed it straight to the path of Luis Silva unbelievably tapped it into the post and into the hands of Han Ji-hun who quickly cleared it into the path of Kamalani Kanani who was able to make good contact with the ball and made it three for Kita-Hinode. The Dreamplanetian squad drove forward trying desperately to turn the game around but that only opened room for Kamalani Kanani to get his second of the game and end Dreamplanet's hopes of lifting the trophy.

Post-Match

Kita-Hinode were crowned champions of Esportiva for the second time in four editions in their first competitive match against Dreamplanet whose heroic performances earned the praise of many footballing nations above them and gave the team a clear determination to avenge their loss in the World Cup qualifiers and in the next Campionato Esportiva. It had been the first time since Campionato Esportiva 21 that a team outside Pots 1 and 2 had made it to the final which was Kita-Hinode's winning run, and in a twist of irony the final was the most recent Pot 3 winner blocking what would've been the most recent Pot 3 winner, Pot 3 of the Campionato Esportiva 21 also had 3 teams out of 4 make it to the final 4 in this Campionato Esportiva, only Buyan missing out as a result of being an ex-nation.

Kita-Hinode had now 2 wins out of 4 finals, having a 50% win rate in a major final and a 100% win rate since becoming Kita-Hinode, this was Dreamplanet's first ever major tournament final and the best Pot 3 showing since Ethane's quarter-final run in Campionato Esportiva 22.
