In the end, you can`t really blame Boavista for having cold hard statistical reality rain on their budding playoff parade.

Although they would ultimately come up a little short against division-leading 3V United in the semis, the boys still deserve tons of credit for knocking out second-seed Red Stars 2 and lasting three rounds despite finishing in seventh spot.

The torch of the spoiler now gets passed on to Brazil 2, who will get their own shot at 3V United and the C1 championship despite finishing just one rank above Boavista.

POTG: Michael Pacheco deserves special mention for being Boavista`s most consistent goal-getter down the stretch.
