Senya v Craitland
Spoiler!
The tournament hosts entertained Craitland, who had previously participated at the 2007 U-21 World Cup and the cancelled 2008 edition, and were looking to take back control of youth football. They had opted for selecting young players mainly on the fringes of League 1 sides, where as Senya had not been afraid to draw on more regular first teamers from lower divisions, with the Second and Third Leagues of Senyan football well represented in their squad.
Senya though did have a relatively experienced strike force, with Isaac Prelvinher being a regular in a successful Svorgas Knights side, whilst Îdœntlîk Kelogzkrunčënut has had spells in the full senior side and the top flight of Gerenian football, and their quality was plain to see early on, with the two causing problems in the Craitish defence early on. The opening goal though, did expose the risks of being so attacking, with Zen Ämo's clearance in the box falling to Jon-Lydveldt F'echhamlär, who ran over the halfway line and into the final third, where he squared the ball to Cräiĵaär Zen, who slotted the ball beyond the on-rushing keeper from 20 yards. Senya shored up defensively, and found an equaliser with 10 minutes to spare before the interval, with Jem Carrigher crossing in for Isaac Prelvinher to dive on to for a header, which flew into the top corner to level things.
The second half saw both sides try to avoid getting hit on the break, and a cagey midfield game ensued. Whilst both sides had opportunities to win it, neither mustered any real threat on either goal, and as such, the sides left with a fair point a piece.
Senya 1-1 Craitland

For those expecting a tight and cagey afair like the earlier match were very mistaken, as the game burst to life very early on in controversial fashion. An early punt up-field by Vyktory's Samuel Strong was looped over the Gerenian keeper and was heading in was it not for Silviu Spinelj to volley the ball off his line and into his keeper's hands, only for the referee to controversially give Vyktory an indirect free-kick in the box. Gerenia's players complained, but made the mistake of leaving the ball where it was, allowing Will Thomas to tap the ball for captain Harry Kelly to slot in from 4 yards out, much to the dismay of the Gerenians, with just 87 seconds on the clock. And the Gerenian's anger was only added to minutes later when Jan Känsel was adjudged to have bundled over his opponent unfairly in the box, allowing Kelly to convert a second Vyktory goal from the spot. But Gerenia are nothing if not resilient, and just two minutes later they hit back, with Marțîn Debely finding room in the box before slotting low at the near post beyond the keeper to pull it back to 2-1. Both sides attempted to get the next goal in nail-biting end-to-end fashion, but just before the break Vyktory prevailed, with Xander Ryan's corner being met with the head of Will Thomas, whose far post header restored Vyktory's two goal lead.
Gerenia's second half though finally was one that produced the kind of quality that many had expected. Firstly, Vadim Jaare was able to volley home Debely's cross into the top corner from 12 yards with just 19 seconds of the second half played in a quick attacking move, before two minutes later substitute Mikkel Desarge danced through the defence before slotting into the bottom left corner, to get his side level again. Vyktory were stung into defensive mode, but went behind when Aleksander Krais turned home following a goal mouth scramble. Gerenia finished off their win when Debely raced through and slotted beyond an onrushing goalie to make it 5-3.

Vyktory's second half capitulation against Gerenia two weeks ago caused many to believe that this Vyktory side had a weak back line, something a very attack-minded Senya outfit could exploit. However, that was not true, with the Vyktory back line proving strong a tight, with John Calvin and Brodie Morris in the centre of defence proving very tough to beat and looking very competent pulling off the basic defensive moves. However, despite netting three in their opener, the side from Galatia never looked too much like troubling Ed Huntley's goal.
After a drab second half, the two sides conjured up a bit more dare in the second period, but neither side could find the breakthrough. If it was going to come though, it would have to be from something special, and that it did, with an inch-perfect free-kick from Frazer Horsford flying into the top left corner from 25 yards out. In the end it meant another unfortunate loss for Vyktory, but the Senyans remain in the hunt for the title.
Senya 1-0 Vyktory

Gerenia's opening day comeback against Vyktory had been the talk of the town and they set off to capture the spirit of that game right from the off. It took them seven minutes to find the back of the net on that occasion, and this game they found it 4 minutes later, only for Arien Vatsk to be adjudged to be offside in the build-up. Gerenia were taking the game to Craitland, but it was the side in white who broke the dead-lock, with Róbert Ericsen running in to head home at the nearpost following a corner kick routine. Gerenia, who were playing in their somewhat unfamiliar red away kit, had already dug themselves out from going behind once this tournament, and they did it again two minutes before half time, as Marțîn Debely slotted home a penalty after he'd been fowled by Asil Karganov in the box.
The second half produced more great plays, with both sides hitting the frame of the goal in the first 15 minutes of the restart. First, Debely cut in onto his right foot to hit a swerving shot from the edge of the box with required a glove from Francis Hjansen to tip it onto the woodwork, before Alexis Pellegrino's cross caused a few nerve racking seconds for Gerenian keeper Raymonds Nakarad, with the ball swerving onto the inside post before bouncing out across the face of goal and kicked into the stands by the recovering Silviu Spinelj. However, neither side could seize the initiative, and in the end, a draw was probably a fair reflection of the match.

With Vyktory only playing for pride, Craitland, who needed a big win and the Apollonian Classico to end in a draw, showed their intent from minute one to try and go for a win, and needed all of two minutes and twenty seven second to find it, with defender Läns Däl heading from a corner. Up against a Craitish side in the mood to win, a lackluster Vyktory team just failed to deal with their opponents' attacks, and were two-down when Alexis Pellegrino was given enough space in the box to take a touch before slotting the ball into the bottom left corner. The hosts managed to re-organise, and were able to start to get a foothold in the game, but the Craitish defence kept everything thrown at it out. With Vyktory tiring, Craitland added a third late on, with substitute Erlaņ Darcq racing through one-on-one before slotting away to give Craitland a chance of winning the title, but attentions turned to the end of the other game to see if they had...
Vyktory 0-3 Craitland
3' Läns Däl
24' Alexis Pellegrino
90' Erlaņ Darcq

Both teams knew going into this knowing a win would be enough to win it, with Gerenia having the advantage of being able to draw and win, depending on how Craitland did. The game started off edgy, but in front of a vibrant a lively crowd in excess of 25,000, it didn't take long for things to heat up. This being a derby, passions were on display, and when after 34 minutes Gerenia were awarded a penalty after Arien Vatsk was felled by Jan Ƨardënöčer, the first scuffle broke out, although both captains did well to de-escalate the situation. Marțîn Debely slotted home the penalty to give Gerenia the advantage.
After hanging on to it to half time, Gerenia looked to build their lead, and Debely almost made it two within six minutes of the re-start, had it not been for an acrobatic save by the Senyan keeper. Despite their initial nerves, the Senyan side regrouped, and with a raucous crowd cheering them on, the Green Army levelled, with Jed Slenk crossing in for Isaac Prelvinher to head home. And with the wind in their sails, substitute Kiket Volinsk came on and within 50 seconds scored, his first touch heading home a cross from his brother, Bɏëder. But a derby atmosphere made the game go a different way very late on, when Jordan Limehouse lunged in on Hädviges Kolumb right infront of the Gerenian dugout, caused outrage, with players, substitutes and staff from both countries piling into a big scuffle. With lots going on, the referee took himself out of it, and once all had settled down, he issued a straight red to Limehouse, sent off one of the Gerenian physios, and booked three players. But with the game heading into injury time, the Senyans kept their heads long enough for them to hold onto the lead. Even though some scuffle continued on the final whistle between backroom staff from each nation, the players celebrated on the pitch as they were awarded the trophy, much to the delight of the supporters.
