Saddam Hussain was the star-stud player of SSGC who emerged as the hero for his team to book them a place in the final of this mega tournament when he netted an incredible shot past several approaching players of the opponent team, right into their net post at 23rd minute, thus SSGC boys did not allow WAPDA players to score for their side at all for the remaining match.
