We were reaching the climax of Group B and with 5 games each already under their belts, the teams now had just 2 games left to stake their claim for the knock-out phase of the tournament. We had an absolute belter of a game in store at the start of Round 6 as Pangare Futebol Clube met AAK S&S.

This promised to be an epic battle – Pangare Futebol Clube had a maximum 12 points from their first 4 games but had just lost. It was a convincing 3-0 defeat too. Could they respond or had that defeat done them some damage? AAK S&S were not far behind on 9 points and came into the game with renewed vigour having won their last two games. A win for The Spice Boys here would mean the Group B title was in touching distance. A win for AAK S&S would put them level with their opponents and really open things up with three teams at the top plus a chance for two others to join them.

Interestingly, Pangare Futebol Club had lost 3-0 to Cruz Del Sur A. AAK S&S had beaten Cruz Del Sur A 2-0 so that means AAK S&S should win this 5-0 right? We obviously know football doesn't work like that but it does show how you could take nothing for granted in Group B.

We expected a close game but it ended up a little one-sided – certainly in terms of the final score. Celio Silva's second strike of the tournament put Pangare 1-0 up. Victor Spaghol was one of the main contenders for the top goalscorer award as he scored his seventh of the day to make it 2-0 before Blendow Esteves added to his tally for 3-0. 3-0 became 4-0 (Wedny Anouso) and then 5-0 (William Junior) as Pangare Futebol Club responded to their last game defeat in style.

The teams in 4th and 6th position were up next with Cruz Del Sur A versus Lun-don FC. The battle at the top was so tight and meant Cruz Del Sur A needed to win their final two games to have a good chance of making the Cup and even that might not be enough depending on other results. For Lun-don FC the Cup looked a jump too far but they could still finish high up in the Plate qualification places to maximize their chances in the knockout phase.

Both teams came into the game in high spirits. Lun-don FC were on their best run with 4 points from 6 in the last two games. Cruz Del Sur A had just comprehensively beaten the team at the top of Group B, Pangare Futebol Clube, 3-0.

This game would be one for the goalkeepers and the defenders to take credit from. It was a second clean sheet of the day for Lun-don FC's Arti Manhoran and a third clean sheet of the day for David Coleman for Cruz Del Sur A. We had only seen two 0-0 draws today (so far) and Lun-don FC had been involved in both of them.

It was difficult to tell at this stage if the draw was a point gained or two points dropped – only time would tell.

The battle at the top of Group B saw was put on hold temporarily as we looked at the teams in sixth and eighth in the table. It was FC Seagrave versus Tommie's Guns.

Mathematically it was still possible for FC Seagrave to move up to fourth and get into the Cup but they would have to win both their final games and hope a whole host of other results would go their way. Realistically, they would just have to win to get a run of form going and then challenge for the Plate.

For Tommie's Guns it seemed that eighth would be inevitable given 4 defeats in 5 games and their last 3 defeats had been 6-0, 6-0 and 5-0. It would be tough to recover psychologically and physically from that.

FC Seagrave took full advantage and managed to notch their second win of the day. Matt Allard got the initial breakthrough before Paul Wilson doubled the lead. Matt Allard ran in a third to take him to four for the day. The league table looked a lot better for them at the end of Round 6.

The last game before the final round of fixtures was to be Jackson's 5 versus Wonderleague. At kick-off Wonderleague sat in second position knowing a win would see them join Pangare Futebol Clube at the top of the table. They also knew a point would guarantee their qualification to the Cup.

Jackson's 5 sat three points behind their opponents and a defeat here would give them some work to do goinginto Round 7. A draw would most likely put them in a three team tussle with AAK S&S and Cruz Del Sur A for the final two Cup places. A win would mean they just needed a draw going into the final fixtures.

The game was very close between two well matched teams. Jackson's 5 could really do with a goal and when they needed a goal-scorer it was George Gaydon who responded “I'll Be There” as he found the back of the net to win it for the English team.

The goal won the game for Jackson's 5 and must have left Wonderleague in a “ State of Shock”.

The two teams finished the game level on 12 points each and both teams had their fate in their own hands going into Round 7.
