10XO Legends Edge Out Hurricanes Youth in Dramatic Comeback Victory.
10XO Legends, a team comprised of former national footballers, clinched a thrilling 2-1 comeback win over Hurricanes SC Youth in Game Two on the opening night of the 15th annual WaggyT Super Knockout Football Tournament.
This marks a historic moment for the 10XO Legends, as it is the first time in their three-year participation that they have progressed past the opening round.
Hurricanes SC Youth started strong, with Dante Smith finding the back of the net just six minutes into the match. Despite the early setback, the seasoned 10XO side displayed their composure and experience, mounting a second-half resurgence.
Erasto Ross emerged as the hero of the match, scoring a dramatic late double — first in the 85th minute to equalize, and again in the 90+1 minute to complete the comeback and seal the victory.

Achim, representing the Hurricanes SC Youth team, acknowledged the disappointment but remained optimistic:
"It's tough to go out early, especially after taking the lead. But these experiences are valuable for the development of our young players.
