Mercury 21-45 Florian Republic
(0-7,7-14,7-10,7-14)
Match played at Las Andreas Park

A much-changed Florian team played an entertaining offensive game against a determined Mercurian team playing their first international since their disappointing 2018 Micras Games campaign. The Florian offence proved to be too much for the Mercurian defence and the Florian Republic ran out as comfortable winners despite Mercury scoring three touchdowns themselves.

The Florian Football Season will now conclude with President Bowl II before the national starts preparations for the World Cup.
