Round 3 started with ZVC Indoor Gent taking on Contejus Hurricanes. It was a team with a 100% winning record against a team who today had a 100% losing record after two games.

Contejus Hurricanes were making their fourth appearance in eurofootballfives.com competition. In the 2012 Algarve Open they made a successful debut when they returned home with a trophy and winners medals as they claimed Plate victory. In the 2013 Krakow Trophy despite 3 group wins missed out on the Cup and played in the Plate again. A 3-0 win over It's Back saw them into another Semi-Final but Poland's Awiw stopped them in their tracks for a second Plate win. Last year they played in the Budapest Fives and struggled in the group phase finishing 5th of 6 teams. In the knock-out phase they turned their form around and went on to win the Budapest Fives Trophy competition.

Contejus Hurricanes, with the exception of Krakow, had been notoriously slow starters in these tournaments – could this game be the catalyst to get them going today. It was a daunting task against ZVC Indoor Gent.

The Belgian team were riding the crest of a wave in terms of form and this showed no signs of abating here. Three first half goals sent them on their way with strikes from Anthony Chimkovitch, Kenneth Blancquaert and Chimkovitch again putting them in command. Anthony Chimkovitch went on to score a hat-trick in the second half and rounded off a fine 4-0 victory.

 
 
 

The Drip Trays and Scoregasm was the next big kick-off on Pitch A. The Drip Trays were without a win but had just scored their first goal of the tournament. Although they had two defeats today they had been against the two top teams. Given Scoregasm's record in our tournaments this promised to be another tough fixture.

Scoregasm had started well today but just tasted defeat so would look to bounce back. A win for them would put them just 3 points off the pace in Group C with the leaders still to play so they had much to play for.

It was The Drip Trays who struck first though as Jon Bass bagged a goal on tour. The Drip Trays had hit the front for the first time today and looked resolute in defending that lead. Scoregasm had it all today and the half-time whistle went with them still trailing.

The second half came and went and still The Drip Trays retained their lead. They took all 3 points and claimed their first eurofootballfives.com victory – and against a two time Cup Semi-Finalist too.

 
 
 

Pelugueria Mariano and Seleccion Balear would meet in game 9 of Group C in an all-Spanish contest. The former still had their 100% record intact and if they could maintain this at the end of their third game they would be joint top with ZVC Indoor Gent. Seleccion Balear could join their opponents on 6 points with a win and advance their own claims for Cup qualification.

When we reached half-time we were no closer to realizing the destination of the points. The two defences were having a better time than the two attacks as we reached the break level at 0-0. We were to bear witness to goals in the second half though. Mariano Llamas Andreu scored his third goal in two games to put Pelugeuria Mariano in front. Sergio Gonzalez Sanchez doubled the lead and effectively sealed the game for the men in bright yellow shirts.

Pelugueria were matching ZVC Indoor Gent stride for stride as they joined the Belgians at the top of Group C. The two teams were level on 9 points but ZVC Indoor Gent maintained top spot on goal difference – it was tight at the top in a two horse race for the Group C title.

It was back to the drawing board for Seleccion Balear who were one of three teams on three points chasing down third position in the hope of being one of the best third placed teams and to therefore qualify for the Cup.
