Amelia’s Ward Russians held their nerves to pull off a cliff-hanger win over Hardnocks in the Guinness Greatest of the Streets five-aside football finals in Linden Saturday evening at the Mackenzie Municipal Market tarmac.

The Amelia’s Ward side won 1-0 in a penalty shootout after the two teams battled to a 0-0 draw in regular and extra time.
Odel Allicock held his nerve in the penalty shootout to score the game’s winner after two players from each team failed to score in the nerve racking penalty kicks.

It was the perfect finish to the 32-team tournament
