In this game, Sexy FC turned out to be the better team. Forbidden City FC fought the whole game but this time they were unlucky. The first half were played on an equal level. The second half Sexy pressured more to score 2 goals in quick succession by Jamie(75.,79.) which gave them the victory.
This game was an aggressive game with both halves packed with pushing, arguments and tough language. In the end though the Afrikans kept their winning streak by scoring 3 goals by Edson (20.,60.) and Tom (80.) while the Vikings were unable to finish off their chances to score.
The Strollers maintained their 2nd place in the First Division by beating the Celtics. The Celtics lost 3 points and fall back to 8th place. In the first half the Strollers were already coming very strong and scored 2 goals by Virgil (18.) and Xiao Bin (36.) while the Celtics couldn't answer. In the second half the MVP of the game Til (68.,71.,80.) of Strollers scored a hat trick. The Celtics got more organized in the second half and managed to score 2 goals by Karl (65.) and Swaner (70.) but it was not enough.
This game was played in the early hours which gave a disadvantage to the Russians but not the French. In the first half the French were more concentrated and motivated than the Russians, which lead to a 2 goal lead through Seb (32.) and Maxime (37.). In the second half the Russians woke up and reorganized their defense but unlikely their strikers were unable to capitalize on their chances so the game remained 2:0.
Fortuna 94 were still struggling with many injuries but still were able to show up with a strong line up. On the other hand X2 had to face the bigger challenge of not yet securing any points this season. In the first half X2 began to score by a penalty from Taichi (10.) but their lead was extinguished 8 minutes later when Figo (18.) equalized. In the early minutes of the second half Lucho (54.) ensured the goal which gave the victory for Fortuna.

The Drifters came to this match with full confidence and gave their best for the entire game. In the first half they already ensured a confident 3 goal lead by Paul (10.), Paschalis (21.), Bjoern (25). On the other side of the pitch, the Snickers, who had fallen asleep in the first half, managed to wake up in the second half and carved out two goals from their chances by Kang (60.) and Wang (84.). However the Snickers could not equalize especially after the Drifters added one more in the second half by Paul (70.) which put the game beyond the Snickers reach.
The Red Cards struggling with only 1 point in the Second division came very eager to win and climb out from the bottom of the league. In the first half Yamakawa (21.) opened the scoreboard and gave hopes to his team. Unfortunately for the Red Cards this hope only lasted for a single minute when MaZhi (22., 43.) equalized and added another one before half time, giving the lead to Beida China. In the second half both teams tried hard but neither were able to score so at the end Beida came out as the victorious team and the Red Cards continued their downfall.
The Babarians A showed their true barbaric nature by reeking havoc on the Yellow River in the second half after being down a goal in the first. The Babarians drummed in 9 goals through hat-trick hero Jiggy (10., 85., 87.), Wu (50., 70., 78), Mario (60.), Steve (35.), Dirk (75.).Yellow River was not up to the task but still could manage to score 2 goals by Zhang (30., 68.).
An unexpected upset by China Star, who managed to beat Celtics in this game. Just in the early minutes of the game China Star scored 2 super fast goals in succession by Li (2., 4.). After these shocking 2 goals the Celtics got it together and scored one goal by Doherty (9.), but after the defensive lines of both teams woke up from the early goals, neither team could score any more for the entire game, so at the end China Star left the field as the happy one.
Athletico came, saw and conquered with a goal fest performance against BTS Korea this weekend. Already in the first half they showed BTS why Athletico is in the 1st place of the division by scoring 8 goals by Beewick (11.), Fry (19.), Bachelt (26.,41.), and Thomas (31.,38.,42.,44.). In the second half, Athletico continued to enlarge the margin with another 2 goals by Thomas (60., 79.), for a combined 5 goal performance. BTS managed to score the goal of honor by A.H.T. (83.) in the dying minutes of the game.

Great victory for Hong Kong Utd. who achieved their first victory for this season and climbed out of the relegation zone. In the first half both teams had chances but neither side could finish them off successfully. The second half began on an even level just like the first half until the 61st minute when Zhu Qi (61., 70.) of HK Utd. scored the first goal. After 9 minutes Zhu Qi added one more goal which gave greater confidence to his team. The Babarians after being shocked by two goals were able to pull one back by Phil (75.) but even though they fought hard till the end of the game there where no more good enough chances to score, and in the last minutes of the game Paul received a red card, which left his team one man down and a! comeback less likely.
Italy FC maintained their leading position in the 3rd Division winning over Thumb Korea with a clean sheet. In the first half both team played equally, with both side having their chances. One of those chances was capitalized on successfully by Italy FC, Nicola (35.) who also scored another 2 goals in the second half to achieve a hat trick. In the! second half Italy FC basically controlled the game and took it up a gear by scoring 5 goals by Nicola (55.,87.), Andrea (67.), Enrico (80.) and Marco (50.).
This game played on an equal level by both teams which resulted in a tie. Celtics kept their 3rd position in the 3rd division and 21C gained their first point of the season. In the first half the Celtics went ahead by scoring a goal by Andy (8.) in the early minutes and kept their lead till 21C equalized by Park J.H. (35.). In the second half both teams were unable to make the most of their chances to score! so the game stayed 1:1.
Renda FC came very motivated for this match and beat ISB. Right in the first half they scored 3 goals by Todd (5.), Russel (20.), Adam (25). Meanwhile ISB were unable to finish off any chance successfully. In the second half Renda continued their play and scored another 3 goals by Cally (60.), Perry (61.) and Mark (70.). ISB were able to rearrange their offensive line and score 2 goals back by Hyun Woo (85.) and James (87.) but it was just not enough and by losing this game ISB continued their losing streak this season.
In this match Azzurri FC came very strong and rocked the B. Rockers. In the first half Roberto (5.) Zhang (13.) and Valerio (30.) were successful in front of goal, while the Rockers could only pull one back by Chen(35.). The second half Azzurri stayed motivated and continued their offensive work which resulted in another three goals, by Mimmo (46.), Lorenzo (61.) and Zhang (67.). On the other side the Rockers did not give up and fought back till the end but today Azzuri seemed to be too strong, and in the last ten minutes the Rockers still were able to score the goal of honor of the second half by Zhu Yu Hang (81.).
