Players and fans alike who have gathered at the sold-out Ali FC Stadium, as well as the designated screening at AEPRE Arena, or watching at home through any broadcasting media and platforms are all celebrating, just like the manager himself, who ended the wait for a Champions League title for 2 days short of the full 24 months by defeating a much weaker Arsenal FC 7-0. Since the original AEPRE FC defeated Cristian FC in the final on May 3, 2013, the manager have struggled trying to add his 2nd title into his name, losing 3-2 in the Season 4 final, knocked out in the semifinals one season later, and Season 7. He also reached the semis with AEPRE FC 35, but knocked out in a dramatic way. Perfect Tactics in their Season 3 and its final season of the rebirth, lost the finals that ended up in a big rage. But now, he can begin his celebration and eyes for the future after the next season, where the team will take their break.

As well as in the semis, they faced CD Kraff, who are 2nd best team in this tournament. In the 1st leg, they conceded early in the 13' at home, but Frederick Aboagye managed to equalizes, leaving CD Kraff only with an away goal advantage. They then proved that they are the most appropriate team to be in the final by winning away 2-0 in front of CD Kraff's manager and his power supporting manager.

AEPRE FC and Arsenal FC both have a fair share of chances, but not until the 29' where Arsenal FC's Bogdan Botoser made a mistake in controlling the ball, allowing Shaun Hughes to cruise through the defense, until the defending team's DL Niklas Hoffman made a bad tackle in the box, the referee were left with no choices other than sending him off and awarded AEPRE FC a penalty, Hughes steps up and puts it into the back of the net. Seven minutes later, Pavel Sochocki found Hughes, he passes before Hughes made a quick-fire shot, and that is the score for the 1st half, 2-0.

In the 58', after each team take their chances on long-ranged shots that were all blocked by defenders, Botoser is the one who led Arsenal FC to another goal conceded again, this time he fouled an attacker, he left with a verbal warning from referee, then Alfie Deyes crosses the ball in from the free-kick, Jakub Borak heads it into the back line, Sochocki then scores with a header from Hughes' corner.

Deyes scored in the 63' from an assist by Hughes. Deyes then runs through the defender, and assisted Jim Chapman in scoring in the 71'. He also assisted Bartra after a very solid run in the 79'.

The final goal comes from Joscef Bajnok's header from Hughes' corner kick in the 86'

The captain Pavel Sochocki is the one who lifted the trophy for the team.

After the game, the manager have said: "I have said a lot about trying not to become overconfident. Because sometimes if you're overconfident, it will let to the failure. For over 24 months of me waiting for a Champions League title, so many semis, so many finals, we always think that the job is done. We learnt our lesson through our previous failures, and we managed to use those very well to win this for us. I wanted to thank you to all the fans, the team, and everyone who made it possible".
