#image_title
Ghanaian defender Ibrahim Ayew and his Lincoln Red Imps teammates secured a resounding 3-0 victory over Europa FC in the Rock Cup final.
The Lincoln Red Imps dominated the early stages of the first half, with Mandi Sosa and Roy Chipolina both testing Europa's defense with their attempts on goal. Despite Europa's resilience, Red Imps created a clear opportunity to take the lead when Liam Walker's shot was saved during a swift counter-attack.
As the first half drew to a close, the Red Imps finally broke the deadlock. Ethan Britto's pass found Victor in the penalty area, who skillfully turned his marker and fired a curling shot into the top corner to give his team a 1-0 advantage.
In the 88th minute, Mandi Sosa's clearance sent Lee Casciaro through on goal, and he calmly rounded Zappacosta before slotting the ball into the empty net to double Red Imps' lead. The goal sparked a heated exchange between the teams, resulting in Europa's Alberto Quintana being sent off in the 94th minute for a reckless challenge on Tjay De Barr.
With virtually the last kick of the game, Tjay De Barr sealed the victory for Lincoln Red Imps, skillfully evading three Europa defenders before firing the ball past Zappacosta to make it 3-0.
This emphatic win secured the Rock Cup for the Red Imps.
