Football Legends Return as Soccer 7s Series Brings Past and Present Together

The inaugural Soccer 7s Series came to an end after three days of intense competition.

With some players from the 2016 Premier League-winning side in their squad, Leicester City Masters clinched the Masters category by beating COMOS Masters 1-0 with a solitary goal from Martyn Waghorn.

SKY BLUES TRIUMPHED IN OPEN CATEGORY

In the Open category, Coventry City emerged as the winners after defeating Corinthians of Brazil 2-0.

Former Singapore international Gabriel Quak's early brace in the game against Ratchaburi FC helped Singapore Football Club to secure the Plate in this category.

Hashtag United from England were declared the Shield winners after a 1-0 victory over Shanghai Shenhua.

However, the Shanghainese did not walk away empty-handed when their female counterparts beat QPR Hoops to be crowned the women's champions.

Throughout the three-day tournament, football fans not only witnessed some fast-paced action played on a smaller pitch with shorter game durations (two halves of seven minutes); it was also a journey down memory lane for some.

JOURNEY DOWN THE MEMORY LANE

Borussia Dortmund Masters featured the likes of former World Cupper Jan Koller and Lee Young-pyo, while Leicester City Masters paraded former Premier League winners such as Wes Morgan and Danny Drinkwater.

The locals were not to be outdone. Former Singapore internationals Aide Iskandar, Aleksandar Duric, and others turned out for Singa Legends in the Masters tournament as well.
