Go Leo completed a stunning comeback in the T11 World Cup when they edged out Thrillblazors on away goals after the two sides were tied 4-4 on aggregate.

Having lost the first leg at home 0-1, Go Leo reshuffled their players and youngster Macfield Dinamo was introduced in the staring lineup, playing behind lone striker Daniel Lindskog.

Thrillblazors went ahead in the 27th minute through Dawid Ciarkowski before Martin Blom doubled their lead four minutes after the break. It looked all over by then but Go Leo had other ideas.

The second Thrillblazor goal seemed to have knocked some senses into the visiting Go Leo players and it took them six minutes to turn the tie upside down.

If anyone had gone to take the call of nature in the 53rd minute, he or she would've came back to totally different ball game.

When Paul Campbell was hauled down in the box in the 53rd minute, Matias Madrid stepped up to slot home the subsequent penalty.

Two minutes later, Dinamo found himself one on one with the goalkeeper and coolly slid the ball pass the onrushing goalkeeper. At that point both teams were tied on the night but Go Leo was still 2-3 behind on aggregate.

Lindskog took the baton from Dinamo and played out his role of executioner brilliantly. A goal that almost mirrored Dinamo's and the visiting team found themselves 2-3 ahead and through on away goals.

Defender Aqeel Tuma header from a Madrid corner proved to be a winning fourth goal as Thrillblazor made it contest when Dadon pulled one back to make it 3-4 on the night in the 89th minute. Go Leo defended and Thrillblazor threw all but the kitchen sink at them but astute defending prevailed.

At the final whistle, many around the Thrillblazor ground were still dumbfounded by what had unraveled before their eyes.

Go Leo are still challenging on all fronts and in the league, they have regained top spot after Bondeii suffered shocking back to back defeats against the league's bottom dwellers. The Lions also secured a precious 3-1 away win in the Champions League last 16 against familiar rivals Spijker FC.
