Ryan Anstey of the Phantoms scores one of his four goals against Ralston in the Sunday, Aug. 18, 2019 City Cup final in Crescent Heights.

With penalty kicks looming, Brendan Lutz came through in extra time of the Medicine Hat men’s soccer league City Cup final.

The Phantoms player booted the winning goal with eight minutes to go in Sunday’s championship match against the Ralston Rovers, who hadn’t lost a game the entire regular season and were thus heavily favoured.

Ryan Anstey had four other goals in the 6-5 win, while Cory Holton had another for the Phantoms.

The game was tied 4-4 through full time, forcing the nailbiting finish.

In the consolation final, the Wild beat the Angels 4-2.
