In game 4 of Group A both teams were looking to put opening match defeats behind them and looking for a victory that would get them right back into this group. Eagles Old Boys may well have been trying to shake off the upset of last minute defeat in their opening game and started the slower. Dan Finlay and Alpha Diallo (making his eurofootballfives debut for DHL Prague) both got on the scoresheet in the opening period. It was a lead that was to prove insurmountable and a Rupert Baltrock goal meant a 3-0 win for the Czechs. The result meant the Cup was game on.

Eagles Old Boys went into their game with Wola having to win with a 4-goal swing in goal difference and hoping Pimp My Side FC would win their last game in order to make the Cup. The task to win and win handsomely was looking less likely as the minutes ticked away. Both defences proving solid and at half-time it was still 0-0. When the deadlock was broken it was Fryderyk Ogoreu of Polish side Wola who put the nail in the Eagles Old Boys coffin and put them in the box seat for Cup qualification.

Wola would qualify as long as DHL Prague Red did not win by 3 or more. It was going to be tough for the Czech team against Pimp My Side FC who had won 2 out of 2. There is history between these two teams though, in the 2009 Prague Masters the teams met and played out a 1-1 draw. The sides looked evenly matched again as they turned round at half-time still level at 0-0. DHL Prague Red needed goals and they found the net through Rob Millan's second goal in three games to end Pimp My Side FC's 100% record. The 1-0 win was not enough though as they missed out on the Cup on goal difference.

Pimp My Side FC qualified for the Cup as group winners with 3 teams finishing on 6 points. Wola followed them in second but DHL Prague Red will consider themselves unlucky to only make the Plate with two wins out of three. Eagles Old Boys would also play in the afternoon Plate competition.
