Round 5 started off on Pitch A with Man Utd predictably defeating Arsenal. Man Utd did not have the whole game their own way though and having seen how Chelsea struggled to break-down the Arsenal back line they knew they would not be in for an easy ride. Man Utd found it a little easier than Chelsea though largely due to the fact that they boasted Jorge Correira in their ranks. A brace in this fixture took his tournament tally to five to lead the goal-scoring charts. A hat-trick eluded him though although Man Utd did add a third through Pedro Xavier. Then, the biggest moment for Arsenal to cheer in the tournament so far as Andy Marshall scored their first goal at the fifth time of asking. A consolation was all it proved to be as Man Utd ran out 3-1 winners to maintain their position at the top.

Pitch B saw second meet third as Chelsea took on Aston Villa. The last time Aston Villa met Portuguese opposition a close, feisty affair saw a late 1-0 winner for Man Utd. This time a close, feisty affair saw a 1-0 late winner. Aston Villa were on the right side of the result this time when Mehbub Ahmed's late strike saw the first English versus Portuguese win of the day and Aston Villa leapfrog their rivals into second place, just a point behind Man Utd.

The next match on Pitch A saw 6th versus 7th with both teams needing a result to keep their hopes of qualification alive. Tottenham and Reading were just two and three points respectively behind Ipswich Town Elite in fourth place. Reading Royals, buoyed by their second point of the tournament against Ipswich last time out, scored the vital opening goal through Sam Reeve. They then put the game safe with a second through Andrew Marley, his second of the competition. The win saw Reading Royals claim their first victory of the tournament and move on to 5 points. The team that were bottom just two games ago now knew they would finish round 5 no worse than 5th place.

The final game of the round saw Liverpool meet Ipswich Town Elite. This game saw the two teams most likely to take 4th place come head-to-head and was a must not lose game. This was particularly true for Ipswich Town Elite who arguably had the tougher run in. Liverpool came into this vital game on the back of declining form and sadly for them that's how it continued as Ipswich Town 's determined spirit saw them win out 1-0 victors. The vital goal scored by Michael Tricker – his first in eurofootballfives.com history and what a time to get it.

The result meant that Ipswich Town now became favourites for the final qualification place with a three point cushion over Reading Royals. With two games to go though nothing was certain.
