No Rules FC off to a flying start

In the opening game of Group A, No Rules FC faced the Tiki Tacker Fußball Freunde. No Rules started furiously and were already 4–0 up after three minutes. They never let the lead slip — in the end, a deserved 9–6 win and the first three points of the group stage.

ERA Colonia demolish Kaktus Kickers

In the first match of Group B, the Kaktus Kickers experienced a true nightmare start. Teamhead Trymacs’ side was completely overrun by ERA Colonia and beaten 10–2. A heavy defeat — and a poor goal difference that could prove decisive as the tournament progresses.

Penalty drama between Youniors FC and Futbolistas Locos

The evening’s top match between Youniors FC and Futbolistas Locos lived up to the hype: an intense, hard-fought duel to the very last second. After a 4–4 in regular time, the penalty shootout had to decide it. There, Futbolistas Locos kept their cool and secured their first win.

G2 FC with a historic comeback

The final match of the day was not for the faint-hearted: G2 Football Club trailed Vice Versa FC 0–5 — and turned the game around spectacularly in the closing minutes. With four goals in the last five minutes, they made the impossible possible and won 6–5.

A finish that will be remembered.

Outlook

After the turbulent start, the action continues on October 25 and 26. Two matchdays are scheduled then, after which the group stage will be completed.
