A record crowd of over 40,000 watched the two rivals compete in the star-studded final, and it did not disappoint.

Millie Bright delivered a long cross into the box and connected with Kerr, who was lingering towards the far post to head home:

The breakthrough goal would mark the beginning of another classic back and forth between the two sides, as Hemp equalized for Man City just nine minutes later, leveling things before halftime.
