With the clock winding down, Cruz completed his hat-trick with a clinical finish into the bottom corner, sending the Strikers’ fans into raptures. The Titans, who had been overwhelming favorites coming into the match, were left to rue their missed chances and the brilliance of Cruz. The Strikers, meanwhile, celebrated their stunning upset, a victory that would go down in their history books. Cruz’s hat-trick not only secured three precious points for his team but also sent a message to the rest of the league that they were not to be underestimated. The unlikely hero had become an instant sensation, and the Strikers had shown that they could compete with even the most formidable opponents.
