The Cup semi final saw two shoot outs between Czech and UK sides as DHL Prague took on We Are Messi, who were still buoyant after seeing off Dogshead FC. AMG would come face-to-face with AFK Druhaci.

DHL Prague had reached the semi final on the back of a solid defence and that defence was to prove to be the backbone of their victory against We Are Messi. As much as We Are Messi tried they could not break down the DHL Prague defence. Maybe the exerts of injury time in the win against Dogshead had taken its toll. DHL Prague, who had conceded just 2 in 4 games were to keep their third clean sheet as 2-0 saw them into the final. An own goal from the otherwise excellent Chris Pye saw DHL on their way and thy didn't look back.

The second semi final was to be a tough ask for AMG who would meet an AFK Druhaci team who had won 5-0, 4-0, 1-0 and 1-0 so far. AMG themselves were in equally impressive form though as they swept into the final with a 100% group record and a 4-1 quarter final win under their belts.

This match proved to be an extremely tight affair. The game saw the tournaments ultimate top two goal scorers come head-to-head. Richard Worr with 10 to his name already could not add to his tally as AFK Druhaci's defence held firm. Marek Kropelnicky, with 5 before the game, capitalised on a defensive mix-uo to put AFK 1-0 up and in control. The game had been extremely close up to this point and this changed the whole flow of the game. As AMG chased an equaliser gaps opened up on the break for Druhaci. Eventually one of those breaks told as Kropelnicky bagged his second of the game and seventh of the tournament. AFK Druhaci could have scored again in the final seconds which would have been an unfair reflection on AMG who performed well and went out with their heads held high.
