It
is not often teams from the same club meet in
eurofootballfives competition but, when they
do, these derby matches often have a strange
atmosphere – sometimes the games can lack a
little intensity or sometimes the games can
have a bit too much intensity with players determined
not to lose to their tour-mates.
Usually,
these games happen in the knock-out phase but
with this game coming so early in the tournament
it would be even more strange and perhaps even
feel like a warm-up or training session. However,
bragging rights were at stake for the rest of
the Lisbon tour and beyond.
The
two teams on display in the second game of Group
B would both harbor ambitions of reaching the
Cup competition. RAF had been there before (more
on them later) and seem to have picked two evenly
matched squads for RAF1 and RAF3 although more
of their big hitters from previous tournaments
seemed to be in the RAF3 squad.
It
was another high quality encounter at the start
of Group A and this game was also settled by
a solitary goal. The goal went to Miguel Vicente
who earned his RAF3 team all 3 points.
