Round 7 would kick-off with The Warriors versus Mini FC. The Warriors looked destined to finish in fourth place regardless of this result but a heavy defeat and a win for Chorltonians AFC Vets could see them slip to fifth position.

The stakes were higher for Mini FC who needed just a point to win the Group A title. They were already assured of a place in the Cup as they could finish no worse than second in the table.

Mini FC currently boasted a 100% record and it was a record they would retain going into the knock-out phase. Domingos and Pedro were both on target for the Portuguese as they were looking in great form to potentially claim their second eurofootballfives.com Veterans title. Final score, 2-0.

Los Amblos collected their 3-0 win versus Bombeiro Faro which saw them rise to fifth place in the table.

The 21st and final fixture of Group A was FC Miracle versus Chorltonians AFC Vets. FC Miracle were making their second appearance with us in the Algarve. The first was all the way back in 2012 at our Open Age event, surprisingly called the 2012 Algarve Open. They were very strong winning Group C and winning 5 successive games before losing in the Cup Semi-Finals 1-0 to CFC A of France.

Today was another strong performance and they had put together 4 straight wins since opening game defeat. They needed just a point to finish in second position and qualify for the Cup. In truth, they could afford defeat as long as it was not by 5 goals or more.

Chorltonians AFC Vets were currently in sixth position at kick-off but could re-claim fifth position with a win. That win looked unlikely when Zoltan Toth put FC Miracle 1-0 up. Zoltan Toth went on to score a hat-trick as FC Miracle opened up a 3-0 lead.

The Hungarians were not done yet though. Laszlo Zsolt was our tournament top scorer in Lisbon back in September with 16 goals. He bagged his first of the day to make it 4-0 before Zoltan Toth scored his 8th of the campaign to make it 5-0. FC Miracle signed off from Group A in style.
