Bacon Boys FC stayed right behind them by beating Procrastinators FC 3:0, while FC Anderson Park North Sydney edged CIKAR 1:0 to keep pressure on the top three. Adelaide Football Club also earned one of the round’s sharper results, beating baldwin 3 3:2.
The next round gives Bacon Boys FC a test against Redtails FC, while Diddillibah FC visit baldwin 3 needing to stay in the title conversation. Procrastinators FC face CIKAR in a useful mid-table match, and the cup final between Diddillibah and Anderson keeps another Challenge Cup route open beyond the league table.
FC Kawasaki Tokyo delivered the round’s loudest result, beating leaders Albirex Niigata 3:0 and keeping their own late push alive.
丸男 took full advantage with a 2:1 win over Fairy Tail, moving six points off the top and staying just ahead of Matsumoto Yamaga FC. Next, Kawasaki face Fairy Tail, while Albirex look to steady themselves before their final-round meeting with Matsumoto. The 丸男–Kawasaki cup final keeps the Challenge Cup picture tense.
Just Vale, Waitakere United, Blue Pixies and Wellington Phoenix all handled their business, leaving the title and international places almost unchanged.
Just Vale still lead Waitakere by one point, while Blue Pixies remain close enough to punish any slip. The next round looks more like a pressure test than a turning point, but the finale is loaded: Wellington Phoenix still face Just Vale, while Blue Pixies meet Waitakere before their cup final decides another Challenge Cup route.
Important games this round:
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Just Vale (59 points), 2nd - Waitakere United (58 points), 3rd - Blue Pixies (56 points), 4th - Wellington Phoenix (52 points)• Promoted this season: Hibiscus Coast FC, Papakura Ampersands, North Wellington Blues
Swans FC took command of the title race with a superb 1:0 win over fc olleh, moving four points clear with only two rounds left.

The Academy marched on with another routine win, staying perfect and almost locking down the Champions Cup route.
Dhaka Abahani Limited remain clear in second, while Narayanganj FC kept their own pressure alive before a favourable next test. The coming meeting between Rajshahi and The Academy carries the main spotlight, with the Academy–Narayanganj cup final still shaping the Challenge Cup picture.
Tongzhou Lions produced the round’s sharpest statement, beating lanxingxing 4:1 and slowing the second-place chase just as baobeiqiqi moved six points clear.
Sydney Warriors also strengthened their position with a 2:0 win over xiaotian-inter. Next, xiaotian-inter face Tongzhou in the key contest, while lanxingxing must recover before their cup final and the closing league test against baobeiqiqi.
Rangdajied UFC and FC Pune City both cruised through the previous round, leaving the gap at three points with two matches left.
The next round gives FC Pune City the sharper-looking test against Chennai City, while Rangdajied UFC will expect to protect first place. With Rangdajied and Chennai also set for the cup final, the Challenge Cup picture still has one extra route open.
Important games this round:
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Aurangabad F.C. (60 points), 2nd - FC Pune City (57 points), 3rd - Rangdajied UFC (56 points), 4th - Bengaluru (50 points)
Atilico de nezzuri took a major step toward the Champions Cup ticket by beating former champions Area6ten9okini. 2:0, with Constantin Caraiman and Pavle Widmann adding the goals. The win kept Atilico five points clear with two rounds left, while Area’s hopes of forcing their way back into the international places faded further. Deportivo Dekara stayed second by edging Bangkok Glass Football Club 1:0, with Jan Tanski scoring the decisive goal, but Tak Tigers and Nongneng remain only one point behind.
The next round brings a key test for Tak against Uttaradit Blades, while Bangkok Glass meet Area in another upper-table clash. Deportivo must avoid a slip against Thai Fighter, and Nongneng’s cup final against Uttaradit keeps another Challenge Cup route open.
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Maccabi Haifa Football Club (60 points), 2nd - Rahat Starlings (58 points), 3rd - Royal Strikers (58 points), 4th - Monkeys (51 points)• Promoted this season: TF Opena, maccabi tel aviv, FC Israeli Boys
Xagħra United kept their five-point lead intact, while Birkirkara F.C. and Cittá Beland both answered to keep the international race tense.
The next round looks straightforward for the top three, but the real weight sits beyond it: Birkirkara F.C. still have Cittá Beland waiting, and second place may yet change hands.
Dacians White Wolves sealed another league title with a 2:0 win over FC Sheriff Tiraspol, securing the Champions Cup ticket before the final stretch. Sascha Heichele and Ady Martin scored the decisive goals, while Sheriff lost ground in the crowded fight behind the top two. Ferencváros remain in control of second place and the Challenge Cup spot, but their 1:1 draw with Moldavian Stars gave Straw Hat Pirates fresh hope.
The next round brings a major test for Ferencváros against FC Hermannstadt, who also have the national cup final against Dacians as another possible Challenge Cup route. FC Sheriff Tiraspol meet FC Păduricea in a direct battle for position, while Straw Hat Pirates need another win to keep pressure on second.
Abatorul Slobozia kept their narrow grip on first place with a tense 1:0 win over Soimii I.P.A. Sibiu. Voldemars Irbulis supplied the decisive goal, leaving Abatorul one point clear with two matches left and still in control of the Champions Cup ticket.
F.C.PRETOR remain close, but their 1:1 draw with AFC Atletico Mangalia stopped them from returning to the top. Trifun Vukojevic scored for PRETOR, while Tacito Pinol answered for Mangalia and reached 16 league goals. Mangalia can no longer catch the top two, but their national cup final against Abatorul still gives them a direct Challenge Cup route if they win it — and possibly another if Abatorul complete the league-and-cup double.
Podgoria Murfatlar kept their outside chance alive in emphatic style, beating FC 23 Mai Onesti5:2 as Nicu Dumitru scored all five. Podgoria are four points behind PRETOR, while VITEZISTII4S™ stayed close with a 2:1 win over Navigator.
The bottom fight remains uncomfortable for several teams. FC Dinamo București. beat East Strike2:1, with Romica Paicu scoring twice, but they can no longer reach safety. FC 23 Mai Onesti and Clubul Sportiv al Armatei are still in the bottom three, while East Strike sit only one point above the line.
The next round sends Abatorul to East Strike and PRETOR to Onesti, with both ends of the table tied into the title race. Podgoria against Navigator and Mangalia against Clubul Sportiv could also shape the final weekend.
Rougemont Rovers pulled level at the top after a narrow 1:0 win over Merlin Magic XI. Revson Louzada scored the decisive goal, and with Beringen United Mightyred held 1:1 by Heeley Harriers, the Champions Cup race is now balanced on goal difference with two matches to play.
Beringen still sit first, but only just. Alekito Righetto gave them the goal against Heeley, while Rowley Plank earned the Harriers a point that may prove important in mid-table. The next round now looks decisive: Beringen visit crystal palace f.c, while Rougemont face Albion Allstars.
Atletico De Madrid, last season’s champions, stayed in the hunt by beating crystal palace 3:0. Gus Oakley, Kamilis Kavoliunas and Biff Webster scored, leaving Atletico three points off the top and still capable of forcing their way into the international places. Gravediggers also kept pressure on with a 2:0 win over The Red Devils Stars, with Jarvis Harman and Bert Danell adding to their totals. Atletico and Gravediggers also meet in the national cup final, so both still have another route to the Challenge Cup.
The relegation battle is almost settled, but not quite. Crawley Wildcats are down, while The Red Devils Stars and Chester Ducks remain in the bottom three. Merlin are only two points above Chester, making the next round’s Crawley-Chester meeting and Red Devils against Phantom Force FC crucial for the final survival picture.
Oldboys United kept their three-point lead with another controlled win, while Football club Valur answered just as firmly to keep the title race alive.
The next round should again favour both contenders, leaving the final weekend to carry the real tension.
Important games this round:
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Oldboys United (62 points), 2nd - Football club Valur (62 points), 3rd - Junkers United (52 points)• Promoted this season: ÍBK Keflavík, Valur FC, KR-aular
fast n fit Stay Ahead as Villa Keep the Pressure On
fast n fit remain one point clear at the top after a comfortable 6:0 win over Balbriggan United FC. The result kept the defending champions in control of the Champions Cup ticket, though the wider story is still the pressure behind them rather than the margin itself. Philipp Lieuwen, Eugenijs Tesmenis, Binyamin Cohen, Alex Neill, Conor Banotti and Billy Kennedy all added to their league totals.
Irish Villa Mob answered with the sort of result that keeps title races alive, edging dubs4sam1:0. Kevin Leddy scored the only goal, leaving Villa just one point behind and still holding the Challenge Cup position. With two rounds left, there is no room for either of the top two to blink.
Knockea United also kept themselves in the conversation with a 3:1 win over Red Forest, as Pero Kopic scored twice to reach 20 league goals and James O'Meara added another. They are four points off second, while Hibernia stayed close by beating SportingHaroldsCross2:0.
At the bottom, Balbriggan United FC and Harchester United are headed down. Irish Knights remain in the last relegation place after a 1:1 draw with Myaella Fc, but that point keeps them only one behind Myaella with two matches left.
The next round is huge at both ends: fast n fit visit Knockea, Villa face Balbriggan, and Irish Knights host Red Forest while Myaella meet Hibernia.
Wallace Army F.C landed the round’s defining blow, beating defending champions Dundonald Bluebell 2:1 to move one point clear at the top. Vlad Udriste and Tarmo Veskis scored for Wallace, while Gabe Christians replied for Dundonald, leaving the Champions Cup race finely balanced with two matches left. Behind them, Bingolspor FC strengthened their late push by beating Kirn FC 2:0, while Celtic impressed with a 3:0 win over Macduff Lions.
The next round sends Wallace to Hibernian F.C., while Dundonald must respond against Fife Funk FC. Kirn FC face Celtic in a useful rehearsal for their national cup final, and Huntly FC meet Bingolspor in another match that could shape the final upper-table order.
Belgrade City remain top, but their 1:1 draw with Arsenal RK has turned the title race into a direct test. Ljuban Devic scored for the champions, while Jacobus Ramaker answered for Arsenal, and Belgrade’s lead is now down to three points with two matches left.
Kasovac Maratonci took full advantage by beating FK Lokomotiva United2:1. Bogdan Radosevic scored twice to move top of the scoring chart on 17 league goals, while Rodolfo Itamar replied for Lokomotiva. The result keeps Kasovac second, strengthens their hold on the Challenge Cup place, and sets up a huge meeting with Belgrade next. A Belgrade win would settle the Champions Cup race; a Kasovac win would blow it open completely.
Behind them, F.C. Mali Supermeni and FK Radnik Bijeljina remain level on points after draws. Mali were held 1:1 by Shooting Stars SC, with Mads Nystad and Dorian Croitoru scoring, while Radnik drew 0:0 at FK Hajduk Sydney 06'. Hajduk still have the national cup final against VOZD Utd. as a possible Challenge Cup route, while Lokomotiva are also still alive in the Challenge Cup final against Bella FC.
At the bottom, Marcos FMC gave themselves a little hope with a 3:3 draw against Club de Futbol Dve Sarme, but they remain seven points from safety with only six available and are headed down. ФК Анђелија lost 2:1 to Mocni Veprovi and are still in serious trouble, four points behind Arsenal and Shooting Stars.
The next round is loaded with consequences: Belgrade host Kasovac, while Arsenal visit Mali and Shooting Stars meet Dve Sarme in two key survival fixtures.
NO MA´AM tightened the title race with a commanding 3:0 win over AC Sienna, cutting the gap to Olimpija FC to two points. Igor De Alencar scored twice, keeping the champions under real pressure despite Olimpija’s comfortable win elsewhere. BLλCK MESA lost ground with a 0:0 draw against TRABZONSP0R, but remain only two points behind NO MA´AM in the fight for second and the Challenge Cup place.
The next round could decide much of the international picture. BLλCK MESA host NO MA´AM in a direct clash, while Olimpija face TRABZONSP0R knowing victory would protect their Champions Cup path. The cup final between Olimpija and NO MA´AM also keeps third place relevant if the current top two stay there.
FK Sarajevo 1946 moved back to the top on goal difference after a commanding 3:0 win over Blaugrana F.C. Zaim Petrovic added another to reach 13 league goals, while Haris Edu and Belimir Vlasto also scored. With two rounds left, Sarajevo and BH Dragons are level on 44 points, and the Champions Cup ticket is still hanging between them.
The twist came from FK Baščaršija, who stunned the defending champions 2:0. Nusret Topic and Borko Ujevic gave Baščaršija one of their best results of the season, but it arrived too late to save them. For Dragons, it was a damaging stumble at the worst possible time, especially with Borac 1926 coming next.
FC Peacocks almighty stayed third with a narrow 2:1 win over The Nobles, as Ismar Sisic and Alfred Zurowski found the net. PARTIZAN FK remain level with them after beating FC Humci4:1, led by goals from Trpimir Veslica, Nikifor Bulikowski, Sinan Hasagic and Jocimar Kabrine. Peacocks also have the national cup final against FK Ljiljan, so their Challenge Cup route may yet come through the cup rather than the league.
At the bottom, FC Humci are officially down, and Baščaršija are now also out of reach of safety. NK Asim remain six points behind The Nobles, so survival would require a perfect finish and help elsewhere.
The next round brings Sarajevo against Ljiljan, Dragons against Borac, and Peacocks against Baščaršija, while Asim face F.C. Imperial in their last real chance to keep the fight alive.
CSKA Sofia and Vereya F.C. both won comfortably, staying level on points before their direct title clash.
Lazio_1900, Val United and Kazanlŭk Thracians FC also kept the chase alive, but the next round is decisive: Vereya F.C. host CSKA Sofia, while Kazanlŭk Thracians FC meet Lazio_1900. The Lazio–Val cup final keeps another Challenge Cup route open.
Szeged delivered the round’s headline result, beating FTC Isti 4:0 to lock down second place and the league’s Challenge Cup ticket. The champions-elect picture still belongs to Hunyadi János, who remain six points clear after another controlled win, but Szeged’s form keeps the final weeks from feeling ceremonial.
The next round brings Szeged a demanding trip to Football Club SKA-Khabarovsk, now third and trying to stay ahead of Al Nassr Riyadh. Al Nassr face Paksi Sportegyesület in another key upper-table match, while Hunyadi can all but finish the Champions Cup race. With Hunyadi and Szeged also meeting in the national cup final, third place could still carry major international value.
San Stefano and Alliance Pull Clear, Forest Stay Close
San Stefano FC kept first place on goal difference with a controlled 3:0 win over FC Mornar Bar. Maj Vugrincic scored twice and Humberto Parra added another, taking Parra to 13 league goals. The promoted leaders remain level with For The Alliance, but the Champions Cup ticket is still theirs to defend.
The defending champions answered strongly, beating O.F.K. Ostrog3:0. Rajo Cirovic scored twice and Aizik Allard added his first league goal, keeping Alliance in second and still only behind San Stefano on goal difference. Nottingham Forest FC are still just one point back after Robert Jastrowicz scored both goals in a 2:0 win over Newcastle United FC.
That leaves the final two rounds finely balanced: San Stefano host OFK BAR, Alliance face STORMWIND, and Forest visit Mornar. Forest also have the national cup final against OFK BAR ahead, so the Challenge Cup picture remains tangled between league position and the cup route.
In the lower half, OFK BAR did themselves a favour with a 3:1 win over Club Atlético de Madrid S.A.D., with Kemal Canalp, Ljubinko Tmusic and Luciano De Barros scoring. The bottom three remain STORMWIND, Newcastle and Mornar, though STORMWIND’s 0:0 draw with OFK Titograd Podgorica keeps them only one point from safety.
The next round is especially sharp at the bottom, with Titograd facing Returnees, STORMWIND visiting Alliance, and Newcastle needing points against Ostrog.
FC Soccer Academy Red Bull are champions with two rounds to spare after a tight 2:1 win over Borussia Dortmund. Vladimir Daher added to his tally to move top of the scoring chart on 14 league goals, and the result leaves Red Bull 11 points clear. The Champions Cup ticket is settled, but their season still has one more prize in view through the national cup final against Olimpija 1911.
The race behind them tightened dramatically. Grosuplje Dreamteam remain second, but their 4:0 defeat to NK Jesihdorf has left the Challenge Cup place under real pressure. Janez Mackotevc scored twice for Jesihdorf, with Luis Carlos Coelho and Ross Maitland also on target, pulling Jesihdorf level with FC Podgurje in the relegation fight.
Neverwalkalone took advantage by edging Manchester United FC1:0, with Eurico Cavalcanti scoring the decisive goal. The promoted side are now just one point behind Dreamteam before the two meet next, a direct battle for second place. Grosuplje FC also stayed in range with a 2:0 win over FC Loče Soccer Academy, while Borussia’s loss leaves them three points off second.
At the bottom, Manchester United FC are already down, sitting eight points from safety with only two matches left. FC Podgurje and NK Jesihdorf remain level on 19 points in the other relegation places, three behind NK Plesh United, who gave themselves breathing room with a 2:0 win over Alkosi i drogeraši. With Jesihdorf visiting Grosuplje FC, Podgurje facing the champions, and Plesh meeting Loče, the survival race is now about those final two spots.
FC Goldstar still lead the table, but their 2:2 draw with Club Internationale has reopened the title race. Loren Radica and Lilian Lisii scored for the champions, while Colombain Gilles and Jean Rene Lebrun answered for Club. Goldstar remain two points clear, but the Champions Cup ticket is not safe yet.
hammertime took full advantage with a valuable 2:1 win over kfc de preistampers. Noe Guilllaume scored again to reach 20 league goals, and Davor Miklavc added the other, keeping hammertime firmly in the title fight and strengthening their hold on the Challenge Cup place.
The promoted THE VILLABOYS also stayed in the international conversation by beating Forza Gellik3:1, with Victor Viegas among the scorers. They are four points behind hammertime and still looking upward, while Sasboys were held 1:1 by AS Beveren. Jonathan Simon scored for Sasboys, but the dropped points leave them one point behind Villaboys.
The cup route may still matter. Goldstar are in the national cup final against Merchtem2016, so if they complete the double, Merchtem would take that Challenge Cup route instead. If not, the league’s second-place battle remains the clearest path into Europe.
At the bottom, Forza Gellik and AS Beveren can no longer reach safety, while Club Internationale remain in the final relegation place, five points behind EA SERREKES and SC Betekom. Their next match against preistampers is crucial, while Goldstar face Beveren and hammertime meet Forza in a title race that now has very little margin left.
Sá City Futebol Clube remain top, but the title race is now almost impossible to separate. Their 1:1 draw with Grupo Desportivo de Sá kept them one point clear, with Valentino Maddalena rescuing the leaders while Calum MacLachlan earned Grupo a pride-saving point in a season that can no longer be rescued.
S. C. Pena d´Alva made the biggest statement of the round, beating Futebol Clube do Porto3:0. Joaquim Pardal scored twice to move level with Matej Volko at the top of the scoring chart on 14 goals, and Vianney Chauvel also added to his tally. Pena now sit just one point behind Sá City and currently hold the Challenge Cup place.
The chasing pack is still packed tight. Galacticos C.P. missed a chance to go top after losing 2:1 to promoted Sport Machados da Surriba, despite Antero Maximo scoring. Machados are now only three points off first themselves, while Sá FC remain in the hunt after a 0:0 draw with Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Galacticos and Sá FC also meet in the national cup final, so both still have a possible Challenge Cup route outside the league.
At the bottom, the relegation question is already settled. Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Desidrogenase Alcoólica and Grupo Desportivo de Sá are all too far behind Vale Pisão to reach safety, so the final two rounds will be about dignity for them — and about whether they can still disturb the title race. Grupo host Pena next, while Desidrogenase face Futebol Clube do Porto and Benfica meet Sport Machados da Surriba.
The next round underlines just how compressed the league still is above the relegated trio. Sá City face Vale Pisão, Pena visit Grupo, Galacticos travel to FC Saense, and Sumolix Stars host Sá FC. Saense are only eighth, yet sit just six points off the lead, which says everything about the table: from the title race to the Challenge Cup chase, almost every club from first to ninth still has a role to play in the final two rounds.
Norrlandsfotboll Deny Slovenia Dreamteam as Second Tightens
Norrlandsfotboll FC kept their perfect season alive with a 2:1 win over Slovenia Dreamteam, slowing Slovenia Dreamteam’s push for second place. Kleuber Araujo added another goal for the champions, while Vagner Bosco scored for Slovenia Dreamteam, but the result left Swedish Academy one point clear in the race for the league’s Challenge Cup ticket despite their 2:2 draw with Eneby BK.
The next round brings the decisive meeting between Swedish Academy and Slovenia Dreamteam. A home win would give Academy control of second, while Slovenia Dreamteam can overtake them and also have the national cup final against Norrlandsfotboll as another international route. Behind them, Rutger Boll Klubb face SuperIbra, while IFK Hägersten meet Eneby in the crowded middle of the table.
The steelheads secured the Champions Cup ticket with a 2:0 win over former champions FC Albisrieden, confirming a dominant unbeaten title run with two matches still to play. Albisrieden remain second and have also locked down the league’s Challenge Cup place, but Fc Black Panther kept pressure on the upper pack by beating fc schönspieler 2:1. FC KOFA also stayed close with a narrow 1:0 win over Swiss Dribblers.
The next round brings a direct third-place clash between KOFA and Black Panther, while fc schönspieler face Albisrieden before their national cup final. At the bottom, Swiss Dribblers and Fussballclub Zürich meet in a crucial relegation match, with Zürich needing points to keep Stadtaffe and Terror City United within reach.
RC Kouba are already confirmed as champions and Champions Cup qualifiers, so their 0:0 draw with M.C.Algiers mostly served as a reminder that the rest of the league still has plenty to fight for. The focus now moves to second place, where the Challenge Cup ticket is still very much alive.
alger united could only draw 0:0 with Kahla & Hamra, a result that keeps them second but leaves the door open behind them. Mouloudia Club Oran moved within two points by beating Itihad.Riadi.Ouled.Nail2:1, with Marius Juliussen and John Heyne scoring before Daniel Burnet pulled one back for Itihad. Their meeting next now carries the weight of a direct Challenge Cup showdown.
USM Alger also kept themselves in the outside conversation with a 1:0 win over Ouchène Irougueln, as Nacer Saifi added another goal. Next, alger united face Mouloudia in a direct clash that could decide the league’s second-place route, while USM Alger host Banu Zayan FC and Itihad meet M.C.Algiers.
The cup situation adds an extra layer: with Kouba already champions and due to face USM.GAZA in the final, USM.GAZA have a strong Challenge Cup route through that match, either as winners or as finalists if Kouba complete the double.
At the bottom, nothing is settled. WATlemcen & CCSig, Ouchène and Kahla remain in the relegation places, but only four points separate seventh from last. MPAlger moved just above the line by beating Banu Zayan 2:1, while USM.GAZA’s 2:0 win over WATlemcen gave them breathing room before they visit Ouchène in a crucial survival match.
Royal Pari held Blooming to a 2:2 draw, keeping a three-point title cushion with two rounds left.
Club Bolívar made their move behind them, beating Juan Carlo Balón 3:0 to seize third. Next, Bolívar visit Royal Pari in the key test, while the Royal Pari–Blooming cup final keeps third place highly valuable.
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Royal Pari (63 points), 2nd - Blooming (57 points), 3rd - Club Atlético Ciclón (57 points), 4th - Club Bolívar (48 points)• Promoted this season: Real Santa Cruz F. C., kerkenez, los cocoleros
Udi City F.C remain in control of the title race, but their 2:0 defeat to Nivek United kept the door slightly open. Taylan Tanyoalp and Joao Gustavo Damiani scored the decisive goals, lifting Nivek into fourth and reminding the leaders that the Champions Cup ticket still has to be secured on the pitch.
Guará E.C could not fully exploit the slip, drawing 0:0 with Sport Club Flecha, but they did cut the gap to four points. With two rounds left, Udi still have the advantage, while Guará’s main task is now to protect second place and the Challenge Cup route. That race is not completely over either: promoted Touro do Sertão stayed third after a 0:0 draw with Geny F.C, five points behind Guará, and now face Nivek in a match that could shape the final top-four order.
Avanti Palestra! produced the most important result near the bottom, beating Na Canela™3:1. Nico Waarsing, Alex Da Conceicao and Lucius Christians scored for Avanti, while Aelson Da Rocha replied. That result pushed Avanti four points above the relegation line and left Na Canela in real danger.
The bottom three remain Na Canela™, Esporte Clube Cajueiro and Piraloku FC. Cajueiro’s 0:0 draw with Candal FC and Piraloku’s goalless draw with São Paulo F.C. kept them alive, but both are still chasing Flecha and Na Canela. The next round is heavy with consequences: Udi visit Candal, Guará meet Piraloku, Touro host Nivek, and Na Canela face Flecha in a survival match that could define the bottom three.
Bulletproof Monks delivered the round’s biggest result, beating Football club de Taher 3:0 and pulling themselves back into the fight for second. Ventzislav Kalchev scored twice and Donovan Da Conceicao added the other, leaving Taher two points behind leaders North Mississauga SC. The Lads were held 2:2 by FC Newmarket, while Étoile Bordjienne beat NorVan FC 2:0 to stay in the wider chase.
The next round brings the decisive headline: North Mississauga against Taher, with the Champions Cup race still alive. A North win would put the title almost beyond reach, but Taher can turn the final day into a proper showdown. Quebec Football Club face Newmarket before their national cup final against North, keeping another Challenge Cup route open.
Assisi Lagos Nueva Galicia damaged Fc MEWA’s title push with a 1:1 draw, as Garcia Gallaga and Clyde Sampson traded goals in the round’s key match. That opened the door for Octopus MX, who beat Real Geminis 3:1 behind a Mihai Donoiu hattrick and moved back to the top on goal difference. Assisi remain four points behind the leading pair, still close enough to influence the Champions Cup race.
The next round raises the pressure again. Fc MEWA face Panteras Negras UAM, while Octopus meet C.D. Guadalajara in a match they cannot treat lightly. Assisi visit Ocelotes del Sur before their national cup final against MEWA, keeping another Challenge Cup route firmly in play.
FC Seher Bosna took another firm step toward the Champions Cup ticket with a 2:0 win over Telluride Smugglers, as Spass Bojichkov added another goal to his season tally. TeamScout protected second place by edging Galaxy LA 2:1, but New Jersey Stars stayed within two points after beating Velez SC 2:0. NY Cosmos also remain in the Challenge Cup chase after a narrow 1:0 win.
The next round brings a major test for TeamScout against Telluride, while New Jersey visit Galaxy and Cosmos face SC Real Madrid. Seher Bosna can move to the brink against Atlanta Kookaburras. At the bottom, Rockledge FL, Beyond and Atlanta are already cut adrift from safety.
