Report
Hurbanova pulled off a shocking upset at Newhaven. The Rockets started off with an 11 minute goal, which left the stadium roaring in delight. The Yellow Galaxy equalized at the 34th with a well placed header (off a corner) by Brazilian striker Luiz Antônio. They took the lead with a Leo Fuster power-goal at the 67th but at 80 minutes Rodriguez leveled the score for the Rockies. A surprise chip goal at 85 Hurb by substitute Janek Maxim left the stadium stunned as the ref ended the game and they were on the losing side.

Report
The Cavaliers were held at a draw at Kinley in a very exciting and controversial match. Lovian star Baptiste Niyonzima opened the scoring at 12 minutes with a powerful strike. He would nearly score again at the 24th, denied by Mckenna's extended arms. In the 33rd defender John MacBeth was yellow carded after an unnecessary tackle. Early in the second half, Robert Chatterjee was wrongfully denied a goal, the ref (and most of the Oaks) claimed it was offside. He was later carded for arguing with the ref. Leon Jessen received a yellow for tripping in the 51st minute. In the 61st Pete York scored for Kinley and soon the game got very tense. The Cavs made several offensive substitutions beginning at 65 minutes. In the 77th Keith Otterburn received a red for persistent shoving and Marc Warren got a yellow at the 84th for a foul on Niyonzima. The game ended 1-1 and may felt that the Cavs should have won it.
