The third round of Group B delivered an exhilarating clash between WWK DB and Raiders Amsterdam. It was first place versus third as the home team could open up a 5 point lead at the summit of Group B should they take victory. A win for the away team and they would join their opponents on 6 points at the top.

WWK DB, having impressed with two consecutive victories, continued their strong form as Jaber Boubkiri and Ilias Baduan each found the net, giving the Dutch team a 2-0 lead. Raiders Amsterdam fought back with Denis Piovisischi scoring before halftime to reduce the deficit to 2-1.

The second half kicked off with the match in the balance and proved to be a rollercoaster of a match. Denis Piovisischi equalized early in the half and then Valentin gave Raiders Amsterdam a 3-2 lead. WWK DB responded with resilience having conceded three quick goals without reply; Julian Markvoort scored twice, first leveling the game at 3-3 and then putting WWK DB back in front with a 4-3 lead.

The drama didn't end there. Claudius Hunjadiu scored late to secure a dramatic 4-4 draw for Raiders Amsterdam. Both teams left the field with a share of the spoils in what was a thrilling encounter, adding to the excitement of Group B. The result stopped WWK DB running away with Group B and gave the chasing pack hope in catching them.

The clash between Mngball FC and FNF on Tour was highly anticipated, as Mngball FC sought their first win and FNF on Tour aimed to maintain their unbeaten run. WWK DB's draw in the previous match gave FNF on Tour extra incentive as a win would give FNF a share of the lead in Group B. Although currently in fifth position, Mngball FC could make it a three team tie in second place if they could secure their first 3 points of the day.

It was Faris Cimen though who gave FNF on Tour the advantage with a first-half goal, putting them in the ascendency at the midway stage. However, Mngball FC responded after the break, with James Evans scoring to level the game at 1-1.

FNF on Tour regained the lead through Quincy Davis, and Faris Cimen added to his tally with his second goal of the match. The final score of 3-1 secured all three points for FNF on Tour, allowing them to join WWK DB at the top of Group B.

The victory demonstrated FNF on Tour's impressive form and put them joint top (second on goal difference). The defeat left Mngball FC still searching for their first win of the tournament but still in the hunt for Plate qualification with two matches still to come.

To complete Round 3 we had Cream of the South versus Scoop FC, with both teams in search of their first victory of the tournament. Scoop FC were unbeaten though with 2 draws. Whilst draws are obviously better than defeats, they can stunt a team's rise up the table so they really needed 3 points here to gain some real value for their performances.

Scoop FC made a strong start, with Archie Green, Eddie Summers, and Adam Richards all finding the back of the net in the first half to establish a commanding 3-0 lead by halftime. Cream of the South fought back in the second half, with Milo Radojevic scoring to reduce the deficit to 3-1. However, Scoop FC extended their lead with additional goals from Eddie Summers, Adam Richards, and Nathan Baldwin.

The match concluded with a dominant 6-1 victory for Scoop FC, who finally secured their first win of the tournament. The result left Cream of the South still searching for their first points as they continued to struggle in Group B.
