Round
4 of Group A kicked off with a high-stakes match
between Dnipro and Los Perros. Dnipro, unbeaten
and joint top of the table with 5 points, faced
a determined Los Perros side, who had a win, a
loss, and a draw, totalling 4 points. Just two
points separated the top 5 in the table so every
point was going to be crucial for these teams
and a win would be worth its weight in gold.
The
match started with both teams displaying strong
defensive performances, but it was Los Perros
who managed to break the deadlock. Ronaldo Oussonen
struck before halftime, giving Los Perros a crucial
1-0 lead. In the second half, Dnipro pushed hard
for an equalizer, creating several dangerous opportunities.
Clement Theory came closest to levelling the score
with a powerful shot that rattled the crossbar.
They also found Los Perros' goalkeeper Marcel
Ons in inspired form, making a series of excellent
saves to preserve their lead.
Despite
Dnipro's relentless pressure, they couldn't find
the back of the net. Los Perros' solid defence
and goalkeeping heroics ensured they held on to
their 1-0 advantage until the final whistle. The
victory for Los Perros not only bolstered their
points tally but also dealt a blow to Dnipro's
unbeaten record and Cup hopes.

Group
A continued with Maai, one of the joint top
sides (at the start of Round 4) with 5 points
and an unbeaten record, taking on Post Busters
FC, who were sitting in 6th place with one point
to their name. The game was crucial for both
teams, with Maai looking to consolidate their
top position and Post Busters FC aiming to build
on their first point.
The
match started with Maai showing their dominance
early on. Justin Vaas opened the scoring with
a well-placed shot, giving Maai a 1-0 lead at
halftime. At the start of the second half, Post
Busters FC found a lifeline when Dave Cureton
equalized, making it 1-1 and giving his team
a glimmer of hope. However, Maai quickly regained
control of the game. Jors van Velthooven doubled
Maai's lead with a clinical finish, making it
2-1.
The
floodgates then opened as Justin Vaas added
his second goal of the match, extending the
lead to 3-1. Van Velthooven, in fine form, scored
again to make it 4-1. The final goal was a moment
of drama. Justin Vaas hit the post directly
from a corner, and as the ball was cleared off
the line by the Post Busters FC goalkeeper,
van Velthooven was there to pounce on the rebound,
knocking it in to seal a comprehensive victory
for Maai.
This
dominant performance secured Maai's place at
the top of the group. Post Busters FC, despite
their efforts, were unable to contain Maai's
relentless assault, leaving them to regroup
and focus on their next fixture.
