The start of Round 3 saw AAK S&S meet Wonderleague. AAK S&S had 1 win and 1 defeat to their name so far as did their Portuguese opponents. The two teams sat in the mid-table positions with Wonderleague ahead on goal difference. Wonderleague will have come into the game buoyed by their first win. AAK S&S came into the game on the back of defeat.

Momentum can be a big thing in these tournaments – if it is with you it can be irresistible as you get on a roll. If it is against you it can be very difficult to lift morale and get things back on track. Wonderleague had the momentum with them after Round 2 and they certainly kept it going here.

Wonderleague raced into a 3-0 lead with Kristofferson Minale scoring the first two and Dom J Tavares keeping up his record of scoring in every game to make it 3-0. The game looked done and dusted but AAK S&S never gave up and hit back. Gary Bartley scored twice to reduce the deficit to 3-2 but it was too late for the English team who ultimately ran out of time to complete the comeback.

Group B had been dealing purely in wins so far. With the 9 results we've seen so far all were victories without a draw in sight. Jackson's 5 and Cruz Del Sur A would be hoping this would be another win (as long as they were on the right end of the result). Cruz Del Sur A were seeking to open up a 3 point lead at the top with Pangare Futebol Clube still to play in Round 3. Jackson's 5 could make it a four team tie at the top of Group A if they could take all 3 points.

If you took results back to the 2015 Amsterdam Fives, Cruz Del Sur A were on a run of 8 consecutive wins in the group phase of our tournaments. It was a run that had seen them score 20 and concede just 5 over that period. With 2 of those wins coming this morning it looked a really tough task for Jackson's 5 which made their performance all the more impressive.

Adry Alonso scored for the second game in a row to give his team the lead before William Sambrook matched his team-mate by scoring his second in as many games. It was a second clean sheet for Mauro Hernandez Cardenal as Jackson's 5 had firmly put that opening game defeat behind them. Final score, 2-0.

Up next in Group B was Lun-don FC versus Tommie's Guns. These two teams currently sat in 7th and 8th position in the table and although it was still early in Group B these teams needed to start picking up points to avoid getting cut adrift at the foot of the table.

Lun-don FC as we mentioned before played at the 2016 Barcelona Fives and reflected the Athletico De Leave squad from last year. Lun-don FC featured all 6 members of that squad plus the additional firepower of Kingsley Ikwueto. They picked up a 2-2 draw versus Unbelievable Technippers in Barcelona and had another draw on their CV here with a 0-0 versus Tommie's Guns. The game was also notable as it marked their first clean sheet in Europe so well done to Arti Manhoran and his defence.

For Tommie's Guns the draw will have come as a welcome break after shipping six versus Pangare FC. In the context of the overall group table, the draw did not do much team either good but they edged closer to those above them and had broken their duck in the points column. The start of better things to come?

To complete Round 3 we had FC Seagrave versus Pangare Futebol Clube. If FC Seagrave were to win we would have the fascinating scenario of five teams all sharing the lead of Group B on six points. The riches on offer for Pangare Futebol Clube if they could win was sole occupancy of top spot and a 3 point lead. A draw would see FC Seagrave inch closer to the leaders and give Pangare the group lead but a much slender one.

At the start of Round 3, Pangare Futebol Clube lead the group on goal difference and they looked in frightening form especially in front of goal. They had scored 9 goals so far. The FC Seagrave defence would have to be at their best if they were to get something out of the game.

The Pangare Futebol Clube attack proved too potent though. Victor Spaghol kept up his fine personal start to the day. He had scored a goal each in Rounds 1 and 2 but doubled his tournament tally with a brace here. At 2-0 it looked game and set but Denilson Jesus made it game, set and match when he converted for 3-0.

When the final whistle blew the score remained 3-0 and it was Pangare Futebol Clube who had their 100% record intact. They were the team to catch in Group B.
