The LPFA semifinals delivered two very different games — one defined by control and discipline, the other by chaos, momentum swings, and one of the greatest comebacks the league has seen in recent years. The result? The Lisboa Devils remain unbeaten and advance to yet another final, while the Cascais Crusaders survive an instant classic against the Lisboa Navigators to set up a highly anticipated championship clash.
