As the match began, defending champions Ramon’s Village demonstrated their strength early on. In the 12th minute, Ramon’s Izzy Rivero opened the scoring, and just three minutes later, Carlos Esquivel found the back of the net, giving Ramon’s a quick and commanding 2-0 lead. SPTC struggled to regain their footing but soon reinforced their defence and shifted into a more aggressive strategy. Their efforts paid off in the 17th minute when Demian Pollard scored the first goal for SPTC. Ramon’s attempted to increase their lead, but SPTC’s tightened defence held them back. Despite several attempts from SPTC to equalize, the first half ended with Ramon’s leading 2-1.
The second half brought even more intensity as SPTC took control of the game. In the 56th minute, Julio Bardalez maneuvered past Ramon’s defence and levelled the score. With renewed energy, SPTC continued pressing forward but encountered a resilient Ramon’s defence. Ramon’s tried to regain command, but SPTC limited their opportunities and remained dominant on the pitch. In the 61st minute, following a corner kick, Wilson Cruz pushed SPTC into the lead with a third goal.
SPTC attempted to widen the margin but was unable to convert additional chances. Their defensive discipline held strong until the final whistle, securing the hard-fought 3-2 victory and earning SPTC the title of 2025 Inter-Office Football Tournament champions.
