The mighty Green Loraxes have won the Nuclear Cup for the 3rd consecutive season, proving beyond doubt they are the best team of the current era. The final was one of the greatest Nuclear Cup matches ever, as the Loraxes defeated an extremely strong Bluthenthal lineup 4-3 in a thriller.
The Loraxes found themselves behind after just 4 minutes, but equalised a minute later. A sensational period later on in the first half saw the Loraxes score 2 goals, including a second by Fredrik Bredbatt, and by the 37 minute mark looked like winners, leading 3-1. Bluthenthal made a tremendous comeback to level the scores 3-3 early in the second half.
However, the turning point of the match came at the 62 minute mark, when a controversial penalty was awarded to the Loraxes, which Solomon converted. Bluthenthal fans were rightly furious, and the referee in question is now deceased.
Bluthenthal were unable to score again, and the Loraxes hung on for a wonderful victory.
The unlucky Bluthenthal side will have to wait until Nuclear Cup VI for another chance at glory, and most pundits predict another strong showing from the Italian club.
