Galacticos and Red Cow Belgrade kicked off Round 4. Both teams were looking to respond to defeats and in the case of Red Cow Belgrade claim their first points of the day in what was proving to be a very tough group.

Red Cow Belgrade scored their first goal of the tournament as Tom Goyski found the net for the travelling team but it would not be enough to earn any points sadly for them. Mauro Cardoso's fifth goal of the tournament would ensure they were pegged back.

In the second half Galacticos pulled away from their opponents as Teago Santos helped out Cardoso in the goalscoring stakes. He put Galacticos 2-1 up and on the way to victory. He added another to make it 3-1 with a goal that was shrouded in controversy as Red Cow Belgrade claimed the ball had gone out for a throw-in. The referee was poorly positioned on the other side of the pitch and we could not tell completely from our vantage point but it looked like the English team had a good case.

The 3-1 win saw Galacticos move into 2nd position in the table. Red Cow Belgrade remained in 6th position.

 
 
 

FC Hollywood in third position would take on 11 Esperancas Faz Clube in 5th position in the next fixture on Pitch B. FC Hollywood could climb a place to 2 nd with a win and the Portuguese team could claim a share of 2nd if they were to win it.

FC Hollywood came into the game on the back of a win whereas their opponents had just suffered defeat so maybe this could prove crucial. The game got off to a tetchy and feisty start and an incident of some sort was almost inevitable. At the risk of sounding like Arsene Wenger, yours truly “didn't see” the pivotal incident in the game – my excuse was I was collecting errant balls from the upper field. The incident saw Dean Copping see red and whilst his team-mates had no argument for this there was a feeling from the FC Hollywood camp that there was retaliation from one of the Esperancas players that should have seen red / yellow depending upon who you spoke to. The referee didn't see fit to give anything.

It meant we would see 5 versus 4 for the rest of the game and it would be a backs to the wall performance from FC Hollywood. 11 Esperancas Faz Clube had their chances with Mickael Rebelo blazing over from 6 yards and also Ricardo Vargues missing a good chance. They also found Matt Clarke in the FC Hollywood goal in inspired form.

FC Hollywood dug out a fine 0-0 draw from the situation but 11 Esperancas Faz CLube will have seen it as a lost opportunity.

 
 
 

Mini FC came into Round 4 with a 100% record but were about to embark on their biggest test yet - Scoregasm. Scoregasm were sitting in 2nd position and had come back from opening game defeat to win two successive games. This was the Group B clash of the titans.

It was Mini FC who opened the scoring early on through Nuno Delgado's second goal of the day. At this stage Mini FC were looking good to make it 4 wins in 4 games as they were still to concede in the tournament. They were on course for a 4th clean sheet when we reached half-time, 1-0.

For much of the second half it stayed 1-0 and it looked like ending that way but Scoregasm were always in the game and looking to find the breakthrough to get back on level terms. They did become the first team to breach the Mini FC defence but they left it late – Bradley Cross forcing the ball home for 1-1.

That's how it finished and the point was a good one for Mini FC as it preserved their lead at the top of Group B. They had a 3 point cushion. Scoregasm were now in a share of second place but their fate was still very much in their own hands going into the final round of fixtures.
