Cruzn storm to bronze with dominant display
Cruzn stunned Samara in the first period, racing to a 6-0 lead with Akol’s hat-trick, Canale, Eliott’s brace and a Samara’s own goal.

Gabriel finally broke the deadlock late in the third for Yunis Limón, only for Joceney to level in the dying seconds and force penalties.
