Report

With a 2-2 draw in the league their most recent match there was little to choose between the sides. Claymore came into this game not having won a trophy for five years, Markian were in their first final. 

There was not much goalmouth action until Clive's team went ahead on 19 minutes. Joelinton attacked a cross from the left and looked to have headed Claymore in front but replays showed there might have been an inadvertent use of an arm. As the Markian players waited for VAR to chalk it off the referee pointed to the centre circle and the goal stood.

Markian's sense of hard luck increased with Claymore's second just after the half hour. Trevoh Chalobah headed in a corner but Ian's keeper was adamant a foul on him should have been awarded. Claymore went for the kill with Rasmus Hojlund firing just wide, Markian's only first half response was Moises Caicedo blazing a shot over.

The second half turned into a stroll for Claymore. Alejandro Garnacho ran around fruitlessly for Markian but Clive's team saw the game out without a real scare. It's Claymore's 13th winners trophy. No active manager has more. Ian will have to wait for his first.
