It was 8th versus 3rd at the start of Round 3 with Retainers Acadamy versus Indoorsoccer.

Retainers Academy had lost both their games today, Indoorsoccer had won both of theirs so an easy prediction would be a Portuguese victory. Indoorsoccer would be playing their 10th game in eurofootballfives.com competition. So far, they had 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats on their Lisbon Tournament CV.

Once this game was over they would boast a 70% win ratio but they were made to work hard for it. Retainers Academy put in their best performance to date but it was not quite enough to take any points from the game.

Indoorsoccer's Pedro Mendes would score the only goal of the game and their goalkeeper, Vitor Goncalves, would keep his first clean sheet in the tournament. Those two were the key men in earning the Portuguese their third successive win and taking them to the top of Group A.

At the start of Round 3, the top two teams were Brewin Dolphin and Barrymoore's Swimming Club. They shared the lead on 6 points with both teams securing two 3-0 wins each. The two English teams will have just seen Indoorsoccer go 3 points clear and the victor here would go to the top of the table.

It was Barrymoore's Swimming Club who struck first and took a crucial lead. Jason James was the scorer. A draw would not be the worst result in the world with plenty of games left to play and the top four all qualifying for the Cup. Could Brewin Dolphin find an equalizer?

The short answer to that is no. Barrymoore's Swimming Club kept a third clean sheet of the tournament and would claim first place in the table on goal difference over Indoorsoccer. Whilst Brewin Dolphin would no doubt be disappointed there would be no need to be disheartened as they were still well placed in Group A.

The next game in Round 3 was Leave It FC versus PMPCAR. Both teams sat on 3 points with a win and a loss each.

Leave It FC showed remarkable consistency in their squad list with all six members of their 2016 Barcelona Fives campaign featuring in their 2017 Lisbon Tournament line-up. They were then boosted by the addition of Jai Malhi to give them greater squad depth. Leave It FC had 2 points to their name at this stage of their Barcelona challenge and they started an extra point to the good here.

The English team looked to be on their way to climbing further up the table when they took the lead through Ketan Patel scored for the second game in a row. PMPCAR were on the front foot looking for an equalizer and they claimed it when David Silva levelled things up at 1-1. By the way, it wasn't “that” David Silva who was in action at the Etihad helping Man City beat Crystal Palace 5-0.

To complete Round 3 we had ADP Netherlands back on Pitch A. The Dutch team were looking for their first goals and first points of the tournament. Their next opponents would be Cruz Del Sur B who were also looking for their first points of the day. The English team did have a goal to their name and a better defensive record than their Dutch opponents so far.

It was Cruz Del Sur B who hit the front with David Jamieson breaking the deadlock. ADP Netherlands broke their duck when Ruud Viveen equalized for 1-1. The goal seemed to spark ADP into life. Rutger Luiten scored to make it 2-1 as his team turned the game on its head. 2-1 became 3-1 with Remco Nijland sealing a first win of the tournament. It was back to the drawing board for Cruz Del Sur B.
