Rafa FC 2-1 Stig's Pipe Smokers
In a game full of attacking, flamboyant football, Rafa FC managed to burst in at half-time 2-0 up. The first came when Robben was fouled in the box by Hummels, and Rooney followed up the rebound after the penalty was save by Adler.
The second followed shortly, as Ganso played a magnificent through ball to Robben, who kept his cool and slotted through the legs of Adler.
However, Stig's Pipe Smokers were handed a life-line on the hour mark when an awful back pass from Papadopulos left Llorente one-on-one with Stekelenberg, and he hammered the ball high into the net

Dave Whelan's Elite 0-2 Ba-rilliant Rovers
In a game that featured two Shinsi Kagawa's , Ba-rilliant Rovers ran out comfortable winners as goals from RVP and Cabaye put Dave Whelan's Elit to the sword. The first half was a dull affair, neither team created any chances, and the two Keeper's were spectators. However, the second half was when it all began.
First RVP was sent clear by a wonderful chipped pass from Valencia, and he rounded the keeper and slotted home in the 52nd minute. 4 mins later, Valencia was then fouled by Rami, and the resulting freecick was curled in beutifly by Yohan Cabaye. Rover's continued to attack, but they coudn't grab that third goal, but the win was there, and a very good performance by TBAG's well assembled team

Haven't A Kalou 3-2 Cheese of Nazareth
Haven't got themselves a win, but had to come from two goals down to do so.
In the 20th minute, Huntelaar struck a sweet, left-footed strike into the bottom corner of the goal from the edge of the D.
in the 31st minute Huntelaar than nodded in a deep cross from Susaeta to double the lead for the Cheese.
However, pure luck from Haven't helped them back in the game. in the 54th minute, the referee (Martin Atkinson) claimed that Peiter's had handled the ball near the six-yard box, but replays showed that the clueless ref had got that wrong. However, up stepped Ba, and Haven't were back in it.
10 min's later, and Haven't were level. An amazing, Left-footed drive from 30 yards out by Mata, sent the ball flying to the top corner, with the keeper beaten.
However, more controversy followed Cheese Of Nazereth, as Huntelaar was denied his hat-trick as he was adjudged to have been offside. Yet another wrong decision.
A late twist in the tale however, was left to haunt CON, as Cisse ghosted in between the two centre-backs and chipped it delicately over the keeper, and the game was won. A shock, shock turn-around, from the team that had looked down and out at half time.

Los Millionarios 1-0 Athletico 7 Years
This game promised so much, but delivered so little. Los got off to a cracking start when Mascherano of all people, stroked the ball home following a whipped ball in by Reyes.
The game was evenly played out to the death, but it was overall, more dissapointing, and less exciting than the other games that had taken place

Slightly more all round quality and organised team wind this one.
