Round 5 kicked off with a crucial match between Los Perros and Maai, with both teams vying for a strong finish in Group A. Maai entered the game on top of Group A needing to avoid defeat to qualify for the Cup at the expense of their opponents. A win would see them take the Group A victory if Humble Goats failed to win. If Humble Goats also won it would come down to goal difference.

Maai started the game with confidence, pressing high and creating early chances. Their efforts paid off when Bram van Andel opened the scoring, giving Maai a 1-0 lead. The goal spurred Los Perros into action, and they fought back determinedly. Only a win would probably be good enough for Los Perros to reach the Cup. In theory, a draw might do it if Humble Goats lost their final game by two goals. Los Perros's persistence was rewarded when Tim Vrolijk found the back of the net, equalizing the score just before halftime.

The second half saw both teams pushing for the win, knowing the importance of securing all three points. Maai's Joris van Velthooven emerged as the hero of the match, scoring a decisive goal that put Maai back in the lead. Despite Los Perros' best efforts to find another equalizer, Maai's defence held strong, and the match ended 2-1 in favour of the team in navy blue.

This victory solidified Maai's position at the top of Group A and they would be playing Cup football this afternoon. Los Perros, although putting up a strong fight, were left to reflect on what could have been as they would continued their campaign in the Plate section of the tournament.

 
 
 

The penultimate game of Group A featured a crucial clash between Dnipro and Don Lowe's Dudes. The English team, Don Lowe's Dudes, were desperate for a win to keep their qualification hopes alive, while Dnipro aimed to solidify their position in the group standings by avoiding defeat.

The match began with Don Lowe's Dudes taking an early lead, thanks to Will Foley's second strike of the day. This goal boosted their confidence and was exactly what was required, but Dnipro responded resiliently. Gerard Kock found the equalizer, levelling the score before halftime. In the second half, Dnipro took control. Karim Elbaz put them ahead with a well-placed shot, making it 2-1. Gerard Kock then extended the lead with his second goal of the match, securing a 3-1 victory for Dnipro. They would progress to the Plate competition.

We had to say goodbye to the Don Lowe's Dudes Squad. Whilst the results may not have been what was desired we hoped they enjoyed their experience and would take home some great memories from their Amsterdam tour – both on and off the pitch.

 
 
 

The final match of Group A saw Post Busters FC taking on the in-form Humble Goats. While Post Busters FC were already set to be eliminated, they were determined to put up a strong fight. Meanwhile, Humble Goats needed a win by two goals or more to guarantee topping the group.

The pressure continued to mount on Post Busters FC, and Elyas Boumejjane doubled the lead, making it 2-0 and putting Humble Goats in prime position to secure the group victory.

The final blow came from Jeremy Freyne, who added a third goal, sealing a comprehensive 3-0 victory for Humble Goats. The win ensured they finished at the top of Group A, unbeaten and in excellent form heading into the knockout stages.
