J.C. receives 2018 Ontario Masters trophy from OSA President Ron Smale at the Civic Stadium in Oshawa

The run of play remained close with the score tied until the final whistle of regulation time. Extra time did little to break the deadlock and the winner had to be decided by the dreaded penalty kicks. In theory Mississauga AC had the momentum. They came back to tie the game after falling behind 2-0. However, hats off to GS Masters and the experience of players like Dwayne De Rosario and Darryl Gomez who had seen this type of situations countless times before. They knew why it was called the dreaded penalty kicks and momentum aside; it was their time to show mental and physical toughness with a precise execution.

The call for penalty kicks was a momentum breaker for Mississauga and a welcome break for GS Masters to refocus on getting the jump in the upcoming penalties. G.S. Masters came out on the better end of a 4-3 result to win the 2018 Ontario Cup Masters Championship. The admirable thing about GS and its players is that they are humble. In spite of a heavy dosage of winning they form friendships within those rivalries. It is one of many reasons that GS United Club is considered to be a class organization.
