For the second time in eurofootballfives.com history we had a Trophy competition to supplement our traditional Cup and Plate competitions. The Quarter-Final draw had been decimated somewhat by the three disqualifications. This meant three teams had an extended lunch break courtesy of earning a bye to the Semi-Finals – they were Nothigam Pressa (Spa), FC Dad (Eng) and Los Langeros (Ire).

This meant there was just one game – Team GB versus Sporting Abeergut. Team GB would feel a bit unlucky for playing in the Trophy competition as they had picked up two wins in their five group games which on any other day would usually mean Plate qualification. However, one of those wins was chalked off due to Leones FC's disqualification.

Sporting Abeergut had started the day well with a 2-0 win over Panteras but had since then struggled so it was probably fair to say they would be considered the underdogs in this tie. Team GB looked to reaffirm that viewpoint when they opened the scoring through Alex Wilson's 7th goal of the tournament.

Team GB maintained the 1-0 lead until half-time. In goal-scoring terms this was the proverbial game of two halves as Matt Johnson hit back for Sporting Abeergut with his 4 th and 5 th goals of the tournament. He turned the game on its head and Sporting Abeergut were through to the Semi-Finals. It was sadly game over for Team GB on the field at least. We hope they enjoyed their debut eurofootballfives experience and hope to see them on tour again soon.
