The Chosen Ones and NHBC met in the first Plate Quarter-Final. Both teams entered the game with two draws to their name and both looking for their first victory. Having seen the two teams in action both would consider themselves unlucky not to win to date. It was NHBC who looked most likely to end this record in the early stages of the game. They had the initiative for most of the game in a high-scoring contest but could not shake off a spirited Chosen Ones team who hung on to their coat tails.

Amarjit Nadal was proving the hero for NHBC who scored his fourth brace in five games although the hat-trick proved elusive for the striker. Andrew Janes and an own goal helped NHBC to four goals. If you score four in a quarter-final you would expect to be on the winning side but not in this game. The Chosen Ones had goal-scoring heroes of their own with Jack Cooper and Josh Huggett scoring two goals each to level the game at 4-4 in normal time.

Maybe unsurprisingly, the game finished in a draw which was the 3rd in 4 for The Chosen Ones and 3rd in 5 for NHBC. This game would go through to golden goal extra time. It was The Chosen Ones who scored it and what a time to get a hat-trick. It was Josh Huggett who stepped up to score his first hat-trick in eurofootballfives.com competition. Congratulations to them but you really have to feel for NHBC who were a better side than results suggested.

in the second Plate Quarter-Final, Atlantic Star would take on Lions Bar of the Czech Republic. Atlantic Star who were looking for their first win went to town in this game and won their first game at a canter. Graham McAnally got the ball rolling before goals from Clarke Woollam, Daley Croston, a second from McAnally, two from Ryan McCairm and one from Paul Coram. All five outfield players finding the net. Viki Lapatnik did score for the Lions Bar, a more than respectable 4 tournament goals for him in a struggling team. The final score was 7-1 though and Atlantic Star powered through to the semi-final.

The Cheeky Boys and DHL Prague Red earned  byes to the semi-final courtesy of their 4th placed finishes in Groups B and C respectively.
