Phinbella 4-1 Forajasaki
2 - Cole
11 - Ri
39' - Marɂdzukiɂ
52' - Akabane
58' - Marɂdzukiɂ
Phinbella overcame an early scare from neighbours Forajasaki to take away a comfortable 4-1 victory in preparation for a home EMU Championships. The visitors took an early 1-0 lead with Mat Cole bin Abdul Aziz heading home from a corner, but Phinbella quickly took control of the game and equalised through Ri Kae-hwan. The hosts took the lead shortly before half time with Izraiwan Marɂdzukiɂ grabbing his first of two goals in the game, and extended their advantage the other side of the interval thanks to Aigā Akabane. Marɂdzukiɂ claimed his second of the game just before the hour mark to round off a convincing win.

Lamantia 2-1 Sovereign Confederation
15' Sven Ebersbacher
33' Jan Jankola
47' Thomas Friendly
Lamantia clinched a win with two first half goals over the Sovereign Confederation. Sven Ebersbacher's header in the first 15 minutes gave the hosts the lead, before Jan Jankola shimmied himself some room just inside the box to fire a low drive into the bottom right. Thomas Friendly managed to tap home just 74 seconds after the restart following great wing play by James Alexander Lupin, but the visitors never really threatened to get back into the game, as Lamantia squandered some good chances late on as the game limped to its conclusion.

Tellia 0-1 Senya
39' Markœ Minyorletsken
Senya edged out Tellia in a tightly fought encounter in Romero. Markœ Minyorletsken scored the only goal of the game a few minutes before half time thumping home an effort from the edge of the box after Tellia failed to clear a corner. The Tellians though were more than worthy adversaries, with Sezer Özker twice being denied by the woodwork whilst Isaac Mahler headed from close range over the target.

Lamantia 2-2 Phinbella
10' Ri Kae-hwan
24' Sven Ebersbacher
73' Seb Brundenbrit
76' Mat Phineas Flynn
Lamantia and Phinebella shared the spoils in Lamantien. Ri's early header had given the visitors the lead, before Sven Ebersbacher followed home from Stephan Bayer's spilled shot to draw the hosts level. In the second half, substitute Seb Brundenbrit gave the hosts the lead after shimmying inside the box to create some space for himself and driving a low effort past the keeper, but the Phinbellans pegged them back almost immediately, with captain Mat Phineas Flynn on hand to knock the ball over the line as Izraiwan Marɂdzukiɂ's initial effort looked to be drifting wide at the back post.
Sanama 0-0 Senya
Sanama and Senya played out an unspectacular encounter in Niyi as the visitors failed to find their rythmn. Sanama played liked the team who won the Benacian Cup 2 years ago, with Mariolino Sonetti perhaps having the best chance of the game, crashing his effort from close range against the post.
Tiana 2-1 Sovereign Confederation
16' Vincenzo D'Aquila
33' Jemry Wheathouse
59' Marco Tardelli
Tiana managed to see off their Benacian rivals despite having been pegged back in the match. FK Tiga's Vincenzo D'Aquila opened the scoring with a free kick that was lashed into the top-right corner, before Jemry Wheathouse levelled proceedings with a deft finish after finding himself one-on-one, having beaten the offside trap with a well worked move. Marco Tardelli would ultimately score the winner though, heading home after some great wing play from D'Aquila.

Nouvelle Alexandrie 1-1 Craitland
21' - J. de la Fuente
72' - Alexis P.
Craitland and Nouvelle Alexandrie played out an exhibition draw in Cárdenas on Saturday, with Javier de la Fuente's first-half free-kick being matched by Alexis Pellegrino's polished strike in the second half. A fair result for two teams testing tactics and trying to stay at full health before their respective tournament appearances this summer.

Cisamarra 0-2 Senya
16' Lökas Vrandela
22' Jack Smith
Senya inflicted Cisamarra's joint-record defeat thanks to goals from Lökas Vrandela and Jack Smith. After a bright start from the hosts, which saw Gjanluca Totti hit the crossbar, Urzi Magalatska's Lökas Vrandela opened the scoring with a neat finish following some high pressure from the Senyans on the hosts' goal. Six minutes later, the lead was doubled, as Rosëvanderlöp Sanergöner's cross was headed home by Jack Smith. Cisamarra had their chances to pull the game back, with Mario Andrettoni forcing Mark Jacobs into a fabulous save late on, but in truth the Senyans looked assured with their early lead.

Tellia 0-3 Floria
9' Sam Butcher
14' Anthony Stone
83' Stewart Florian
Tellia found themselves on the wrong end of a humiliation as Floria rounded off an impressive thumping of the two-time World Champions in Scoglitto. The Tellians started disastrously when Alessandro De Laurentiis dawdled on the ball inside his own half, with Sam Butcher able to nip in and take the ball off him, landing himself a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper, from which the Dragonmoor striker coolly side-footed the ball past the keeper into the bottom right corner. The goal gave the Florians the bit between their teeth, and within five minutes they had doubled their lead, with Anthony Stone making a run from left wing, before cutting inside just outside the box and smashing a curling and dipping effort into the top corner, hitting the ball with so much pace the keeper was unable to get even his fingertips to the ball. Floria's quick start had completely blown the hosts away, and Cristiano Ramirez was unlucky not to make it three, missing a free header in the box, following more good work down the left from Stone.
The second half saw the Tellians regroup themselves, but they still looked shell shocked. Sezer Özker saw a shot from the edge of the box saved by Logan Shaw in the Florian goal, before the Dragonmoor keeper clawed a header by Armando Uggè out from under the crossbar. Late on however, the Florians would seal a third, when a corner kick managed to miss everyone in the box, except for Stewart Florian, who tapped home at the back post for a third, and an incredible Florian victory.

Phinbella 1-2 Mercury
5' - I. Murad
71' - A. Hanbury
85' - A. Hanbury
An Addey Hanbury brace turned the tide on a Phinbella side that had taken an early lead and held strong for the majority of the game. Fresh off the back of his move to Krasnovlac, Izzanie Murad put the Phinbellans ahead early on with a powerful header, while Hanbury's second-half equaliser was half-volleyed in off the post before the Cook Island forward finished a header of his own with five minutes to spare.

Vegno 0-0 Craitland
Vegno recorded a home draw against Craitland thanks to a solid defensive performance that stifled a hungry Craitish front line. The visitors' own good record of recent clean sheets was added to here, leading to a goalless tie, though a trend of struggling to find the net may be a downside for the Craits before the Benacia Cup starts.

Krasnovlac 1-2 Phinbella
35' - Y. Chi
74' - L. Sahirocheu
85' - P. Flynn
It was the Elemental Boy Scouts who struck first as Helouise Hanekom's pass to Laban Vanot saw the latter took a shot against Krasnovlac captain Yech Reich-kyrt who quickly went down to parry it only as far into the path of an offside Ri Kae-hwan. It was a near nightmare for Phinbella however nearly 10 minutes later when new PP. League striker, Harry C.G., managed to deceive Endo Mamoru and round him but his shot was quickly snatched away by Min Jae-hyuk. In the 32nd minute, Harry's pass was cleared only as far as to him, his acrobatic adaptive pass to Jordan Yewsmikel nearly saw the Sancrus midfielder score a volley but went straight to Mamoru who made a good save.
The second half saw Phinbella yet again pressing first as Hanekom's low driven shot into the bottom corner was parried out by a strong hand from Reich-kyrt. Things turned up for Krasnovlac as Tarakachu La'Kamen's interception against Valentich saw a great pass through the defence from Korshawl Maxchel-Lorat to Yomasu Chi who broke through the offside trap who scored his second international goal against Mamoru. Phineblla nearly equalized minutes later when Ri's header went wide of the crossbar. Krasnovlac nearly scored a second when Harry's volley was saved onto the woodwork by Mamoru which led to Phinbella's counter as Phineas Flynn's went one-on-one with Reich-kyrt who makes a save. In the 74th minute, Hanekom spotted Vanot who made a quick pass to substitute Leonard Sahirocheu who broke past De'Mos Kushirda to equalize for his side. Ri nearly scored the second when he quickly burst past Rickos Tyskiryua but his shot went awfully wide. Leonard made his second impact of the game when he assists Phinease who turned past La'Kamen to slot home the winner past Reich-kyrt to secure an important yet learning win for the Scouts who tied the knots in Belaov.
Man of the Match: Mat Phineas Flynn #7

Unified Governorates 0-2 Senya
13' - A. Danetskë
65' - J. Smith
The UGB gave Senya a challenging opponent ahead of both sides' continental championship appearances this summer, but the visitors just had a little too much class and left with a victory. The home side weren't devoid of creativity through the ninety, with Artur Segler-1 finding chances to worry the Senyan 'keeper, but Senya found an early breakthrough via a trademark Danetskë thunderbolt from just inside the area. Jack Smith doubled the lead in the second half, firmly establishing his intentions of being a key part of the Green Army's Copa Apollonia campaign this month, through a close-range header, and a clean sheet was confirmed at the death thanks to an elastic save from newly-established first choice stopper Mark Jacobs.

Craitland 0-1 Floria
83' - Ramirez
A late winner from Cristiano Ramirez gave visitors Floria the victory against four-time world champions Craitland. The hosts came close a couple of times in the first half, with Floria struggling to create anything, but a dominant second half, complete with the away side capitalising on a golden opportunity saw them walk away with the win.

Craitland 3-2 Krasnovlac
22' - Harry C.G.
27' - J. Tórsen
43' - Harry C.G.
67' - Dräsen I.
80' - W. Zóma
Craitland broke their run without a win with a victory over a Krasnovlac side that impressed away from home. After making a handful of changes from the weekend's defeat to Floria, Adnan Kröƨ's side again went behind as Harry C.G. measured a run into the box to meet a swinging Yewsmikel delivery with his head at the back post. The visitors' lead was short-lived, however, with Jan Tórsen staking his claim for a finals squad spot with a smart finish one-on-one with Yech Reich-kyrt after a squared pass. Krasnovlac reëstablished their lead right before half time as they kept up their intentions of an upset, again with Harry C.G. finding the net via the post with a quick flick past Vallensen from a corner to earn himself a man of the match award.
The hosts made changes at the break, and one of them found a second equaliser of the game in the second 45; Dräsen Isrdlvarien was on hand to put a powerful header under the reach of Reich-kyrt from Ilt Valmer's cross in. Harry C.G. was subbed off for Krasnovlac later in the half, denying him a hat-trick opportunity, though his replacement Forzc went close with a long-range effort with 15 to spare. However, with ten minutes remaining, the home team stole the win as Will Zóma scored his first goal since the Confederations Cup final. A trademark sprint through the offside trap allowed for Dräsen's knock-on to find its target and the 2021 World Cup golden boot winner placed the ball to the 'keeper's left with ease to roll the ball over the line.
An improved performance for Craitland after the handful of unimpressive scores recently, which will aim to give manager Kröƨ an idea of his best squad for the Benacia Cup, with Krasnovlac recording another spirited performance since joining the FMF, even if the scoreline wasn't the resounding success that even a draw tonight would have mustered.

Craitland 2-0 The Hexarchy
7' - J.M. Juliaĵsen
21' - J. Tórsen
Following confirmation of this fixture being their last before the Benacia Cup, despite rumours of another warm-up closer to the tournament being announced, Craitland secured a victory over The Hexarchy at home. The Craits started swiftly through Jan-Morteņ Juliaĵsen's early strike that halted any chance for the visitors to set-up a solid defensive line, before Jan Tórsen's header less than a quarter-hour later doubled the lead and likely cemented the Róndlinga forward's place in the twenty-man squad after scoring two in two. The Hexarchian performance was not without shine, however, as a number of attacks troubled Craitland, who had Francis Hjansen to thank for saves as the stopper seems to have secured his place as the Craitish first choice this summer. Usual suspects Balshazzar Bel-Dagon and Sargon Arad-Nuzi performed well for The Hexarchy, which will be a boon for a team hoping to do well at the EMUs this year, aiming to advance from an exciting group containing both of 2020's finalists.
