Liverpool were back in action on Pitch A to get Round 2 underway. Both teams earned a draw in their opening games and a second draw looked on the cards in a tight game as the teams went in at half-time 0-0. The second half did see the deadlock broken with the award of a penalty to Liverpool for handball in the area. The penalty decision was described as “dubious” by Arsenal and “definite” by Liverpool . Who'd be a referee? David Henning stepped up to the plate to take the penalty and put it away with confidence to give Liverpool the lead. Unlike their first game when they were pegged back late on, Liverpool held on this time to collect their visit victory and a solid opening return of 4 points from a possible 6.

On Pitch B, Tottenham were faring better against Ipswich Town Elite than they had against Aston Villa. Ipswich Town Elite were looking to build on their opening draw against Arsenal and go one better against Tottenham but were struggling to breakdown the Tottenham defence. Half-time came and went with no goals and Ipswich were staring a second successive 0-0 in the face as the final whistle drew closer. Late on though Ipswich Town Elite broke their scoring duck as Ollie Francis was dispossessed for Tottenham which eventually led to Adrian Game winning the game for Ipswich . So close for Tottenham but sadly it was two defeats from two for them. The result meant Ipswich found themselves in 4 th Place .

Chelsea and Reading saw the first Portuguese versus English game of the day with both teams looking to build on their opening game draws. Reading Royals came out battling but maybe battling too hard as James Dalley launched into a tackle just outside the penalty area to give a free kick away in a dangerous position. Reading were made to pay a heavy price as Antonio Zimic fired in the free-kick from a tight angle. In their first game Reading Royals came from a goal behind to earn a draw against Liverpool . Chelsea proved to be tougher opposition though and when Andre Montinho doubled Chelsea 's lead in the second half the game was won. The 2-0 result meant that Chelsea topped the table at the end of Round 2.

Previous leaders Aston Villa were in action against Man Utd and looking to repeat their first game success. The match proved to be an extremely close and feisty affair with both teams determined not to lose this one. The game looked like it was heading to a well deserved draw and a point for each team but as the seconds were ticking away a rash challenge in their own penalty area from an Aston Villa player chasing back to help his defence saw the referee rightly point to the spot. The Aston Villa players decried the decision more in hope than expectancy although the neutral teams watching agreed it was a nailed on penalty. Jorge Correira put the penalty away to score his second in as many games and take all three points for Man Utd.
