Beyond Limits have emerged overall winners of the 2025 B17E Gothia Cup held in Gothenburg with a victory over Ivory Coast’s ASEC Mimosas on penalties.
ASEC struck first through Émile Emmanuel Zongo in the fifth minute, but Beyond Limits restored parity by the 20th minute, taking the game into a tense second half. When extra time failed to break the deadlock at 1–1, spot-kicks decided the outcome.
Emmanuel Ayowonuola Adeboyejo, designated MVP of the final, said his team drew strength from previous shootout experience. After ASEC’s keeper denied one Beyond Limits attempt in the initial five kicks, the contest extended into sudden death. In the eighth round, ASEC faltered cementing Beyond Limits’ victory and the cup triumph.
Adeboyejo expressed profound relief and pride, celebrating the team’s collective spirit at the 2025 B17E Gothia Cup, stating:
“We’ve been a great team throughout this tournament, and I truly believe we deserve this,” he remarked. Festivities were humble yet heartfelt. We’ll dance and sing, but I don’t think it’ll get too crazy.”
