Group B began with Humble Goats (Ned) hosting Dynamo Leila (Eng) with the away team making their eurofootballfives.com debut.

The Humble Goats began the 2023 Amsterdam Sevens as defending champions making quite the debut 12 months ago. They got off to a flyer with a 4-0 win over JK Silvertown and 2-0 win over Murder on Zidane's Floor. A 3-0 win over Turn Down For Watford and 2-1 win over FC Tpaktop put them in top spot with one game to go. It was a group decider against Colonel Getafe which they drew 0-0. As a result, they finished second in the table on goal difference, by just the one goal.

A hard-fought Cup Semi-Final against City FC finished 0-0 with Humble Goats progressing 2-1 on penalties. It was similar story in the Cup Final with a 0-0 draw against The Gentleman's Club before going on to claim the title 3-1 on spot kicks.

Dynamo Leila knew they would have a tough game against the defending champions but they acquitted themselves really well. They created a host of chances but were unable to put them away including hitting the post three times. The first half ended 0-0 and it was a pretty even contest. The match ultimately came down to who could take their chance and that man was Jazz Prins. His second half strike earned all three points for Humble Goats who started their defence with a win.

Dynamo Leila would have left the field disappointed and feeling they could have got something from this game. It showed they could clearly compete at this level.

The final two teams to kick-off their campaigns in Group B were Dreamz and Apolo Legends – both teams playing for the first time in a eurofootballfives.com event. Apolo Legends emerged victorious in a match filled with excitement and anticipation.

The first half of the game saw both teams displaying great energy and determination. Apolo Legends managed to break the deadlock and take the lead when Rennan Moura found the back of the net. Moura's goal electrified his team and gave Apolo Legends a 1-0 advantage going into halftime.

In the second half, Billit Dreamz fought fiercely to find an equalizer. They created several scoring opportunities but struggled to convert them into goals. The defense of Apolo Legends remained solid, restricting Billit Dreamz chances to level the score.

As the final whistle blew, Apolo Legends celebrated their hard-fought victory, securing a 1-0 win over Billit Dreamz. Rennan Moura's goal proved to be the decisive moment of the match granting Apolo Legends a successful start to their campaign.

Both teams exhibited commendable performances, displaying their potential and determination. This clash certainly helped set the stage for future encounters in Group B. We had seen three 1-0 wins so far suggesting this was going to be a fiercely contested league.
