After the restart, Wentworth Arms picked up where they left off. A smartly taken goal from Anthony Morgan put them ahead at 2-1, their belief visibly growing. But Sambal Jorra FC weren't done yet. Once again, it was Brian Akan with a clinical finish, bringing his tally for the day to five and pulling his team level at 2-2. The Dutch side seized the momentum from that moment on.

As the final entered its decisive phase, Merlijn van Duinen, Sambal Jorra's leading scorer, delivered at a crucial moment to edge his side ahead 3-2. Then came a potentially decisive blow — a composed finish from Jamiro Bouva to make it 4-2, giving the Dutch side the first two-goal cushion of the match. It was a lead they would not relinquish. Wentworth Arms pushed hard in the closing minutes, but time was not on their side.

At full-time, it was Sambal Jorra FC who were crowned Plate champions, sealing a memorable 4-2 victory in a high-quality final. The game showcased both teams' attacking talents, but it was the Dutch debutants who held their nerve in the key moments to lift silverware at their first attempt.

A word for Wentworth Arms — this was a third deep tournament run in as many appearances, and once again, they proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Their attacking output was exceptional throughout the day. Though it wasn't the fairy-tale ending they were hoping for, their consistency and quality were evident from start to finish. They depart Amsterdam with heads held high, knowing their time will surely come.
