AFC Basemen
had a chance to open up a 3 point lead at the
top of Group B when they met FC Broxelona A.

and could make it three teams tied on 6 points
at the top if they were to pick up the victory.
We've
not yet had chance to preview FC Broxelona A
so let's do so now. FC Broxelona made their
eurofootballfives.com debut at the 2016 Budapest
Fives with two teams. The A team got off to
the perfect start with 6 points from 6 before
results faded. They finished 4th (of 6) and
would qualify for the Plate competition. The

Plate Final. A ding-dong Plate Final saw the
A team emerge victorious 4-3.
Last
year they appeared at the 2017 Mallorca Fives.
The A team had a good morning with 10 points
from a possible 15 as they finished 2 nd in
Group C. A 2-2 draw in the Quarter-Final against
KML (Hol) preceded a penalty shoot-out win.
They were then defeated by the eventual winners,
Valecuatro, in the Semis.
Back
to the action in Lisbon and this one did not
start too well for Broxelona as they found themselves
two goals down in the first half. Adam Speake
and Jack Utting goals put the men in black and
white stripes in command of this game.
FC
Broxelona came from behind in their previous
game to win but that was from just one goal
down. Here they mounted another comeback and
rescued a point. Jason Ayton scored for the
second game in a row to reduce the deficit before
Adam Henderson scored the vital equalizer.

B whilst FC Broxelona A moved up to third.
