The final of the Peace cup was drama all the way.
Juventus players had a contract with heaven in that all their shoots was sent straight to heaven throughout the match. David Trezeget led the Juventus players that led series of chances to heaven. After a fruitless 90 minutes without a win , the game entered extra 30 minutes. But the football world was shocked when the center referee stopped the match three and a half minutes to the end. The game thereafter went into penalties. De piero had the opportunity of winning the game for Juventus like John Terry of Chelsea with the last penalty but he instead gave a Christmas present in August to the Aston Villa keeper. This gave way for dead penalty shootout. The first dead balls was slooted in by Aston Villa while Juventus sent their own to heaven. This made Aston Villa the winners of the Peace Cup. Throughout the competition, Aston Villa surprised themselves winning stiff opposition despite some injury scare. Their young players never gave their opponent an opportunity to over-ride them. Their win a against Sevilla and finally winning it will be a memory that will remain in the minds of the players throughout the season.
Aston Villa deserves the credit bearing in mind that teams such as Real Madrid, Juventus, FC Porto and Sevilla also participated in the competition.
