FC Anderson Park North Sydney made the round’s clearest statement, beating Bacon Boys FC 4:1. Bradley Cassidy scored twice before Alexandre Heitor and Nicanor Bedoya finished the job, leaving Bacon with work to do after their Challenge Cup exit as well.
FC SPIDERS Sydney stayed perfect with a 4:1 win over CIKAR, while Croweater FC remain level at the top after a routine result against FC Roseville. F.C.Formerly In Shape also moved into the upper half with a strong win over Partizan Sydney FK.
The next round brings a major test for Bacon, who host SPIDERS in the headline fixture. Croweater face Diddillibah FC, while Anderson meet Adelaide Football Club with a chance to keep pressure on the top two.
Fairy Tail delivered the round’s biggest active-team result, edging Matsumoto Yamaga FC 1:0 and cutting into one of the early leaders. 丸男 and FC Kawasaki Tokyo also cancelled each other out in a goalless draw, leaving both still searching for a sharper title rhythm.
The next round now brings two major tests: Matsumoto Yamaga FC face leaders Albirex Niigata, while FC Kawasaki Tokyo meet Aira FC. Both matches should tell us far more about the early chase.
Waitakere United made the round’s key move, beating Wellington Phoenix 3:1 and keeping themselves in reach of the perfect leading pair. Just Vale and Blue Pixies both stayed flawless with comfortable wins, but Waitakere United claimed the result with real weight.
The next round brings the major test: Waitakere United face champions Just Vale. A win for Just Vale would strengthen their early control, while Waitakere United can pull the title race tighter again.
Andong Mackerels delivered the round’s key result, beating champions Swans FC 4:1 and keeping their perfect start alive. With Yeongjongdo Island and fc olleh also still flawless, the top three are already pulling clear.
The pressure now stays on Swans FC, who face leaders Yeongjongdo Island next. After defeats to fc olleh and Andong Mackerels, another loss would leave the champions chasing from a long way back.
The Academy and Dhaka Abahani Limited both stayed perfect, with the champions beating Mohammedan SC Dhaka 12:0 while Dhaka Abahani Limited hit 20.
Narayanganj FC also responded well with an 8:0 win, but the next round’s key test is The Academy against Abahani Chittagong, as the leaders try to keep the title race under control.
lanxingxing claimed the round’s key direct result, edging Sydney Warriors 1:0 through Andre Oksnes. It keeps both sides in the chase, but still leaves them behind the three-way lead shared by xiaotian-inter, baobeiqiqi and Tongzhou Lions.
Sydney Warriors now face another demanding test against Tongzhou Lions. A response would pull them back into the picture; another defeat would make the early gap much harder to ignore.
FC Pune City and Rangdajied UFC both handled their work cleanly, winning 16:0 and 12:0 to stay unbeaten behind early leaders Bengaluru.
The next round brings more pressure than drama: FC Pune City face Aurangabad F.C., while Rangdajied UFC meet Chennai City, with both needing wins before their direct title tests arrive.
Uttaradit Blades and Tak Tigers supplied the round’s tightest result, sharing a 0:0 draw that keeps Tak unbeaten but leaves them four points off the top. Around them, the leaders handled lighter assignments comfortably: Area6ten9okini. and Deportivo Dekara both remain perfect after four matches, while Atilico de nezzuri and Bangkok Glass Football Club kept the pressure on with one-sided wins.
The next round brings the first major clash between title contenders. Defending champions Atilico host Deportivo, with Dekara looking to protect their perfect start and Atilico trying to close the gap after their Champions Cup exit. Nongneng also get a useful chance to climb when they face Bangkok Glass, while Area6ten9okini. and Tak Tigers will expect to stay firmly in the early race.
Cittá Beland and Birkirkara F.C. both stayed perfect, keeping the early race locked together after another round of routine wins.
Xagħra United responded from their narrow defeat with a heavy victory, but the next round offers little direct pressure. For now, the main task is simple: Cittá Beland and Birkirkara F.C. must avoid giving the first inch away.
Straw Hat Pirates produced the round’s defining result, edging FC Petrolul Ploiesti 2:1 and dragging the early title race into a six-team squeeze on nine points.
Dacians White Wolves, FC Sheriff Tiraspol, FC Păduricea and Puddlemere United all won comfortably, so the pressure now shifts straight back to the leaders. Next, FC Petrolul Ploiesti face champions Dacians White Wolves, a quick chance to recover — or slip deeper into the crowd.
Cluj Clear Another Hurdle as Pretor and Abatorul Set Up Heavyweight Clash
Universitatea Cluj remain the only perfect side in Divizia A after winning the early-season summit with F.C.PRETOR. Two quick goals from Zlatko Volfand were enough for a 2:1 victory, and with four wins from four, the promoted leaders have already turned their return into the league’s main story. Their next trip to Soimii I.P.A. Sibiu looks manageable on paper, but Cluj will want a clean response after their surprise cup elimination by Apulum.
Triton FC, another promoted side, are still giving chase. Their 2:1 win at FC Caracal moved them into second, with Maxime Marin and Sava Jovovic overturning an early deficit. The next match against AFC Atletico Mangalia should be a stronger test, especially with Atletico trying to recover from a 2:0 defeat to Podgoria Murfatlar.
That Podgoria result was one of the round’s sharpest statements. Nicu Dumitru and Costica Vulpe struck before half-time, lifting last season’s third-placed side back into the upper group. Their meeting with VITEZISTII4S™ now carries real weight, with VITEZISTII also coming off a narrow 2:1 win.
The headline fixture, though, is F.C.PRETOR against Abatorul Slobozia. Pretor need to react after losing to Cluj, while the defending champions and cup holders edged FC Univ. Craiova2:1 and remain unbeaten in three competitions. With both clubs still alive internationally, this already feels like a match that could define the early title chase.
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Aris Thessalonikis (66 points), 2nd - FC Rotor Volgograd (60 points), 3rd - Torpedo Vladimir (51 points)• Promoted this season: Plan 9 Iz Kosmosa, Russtart, FC ZOG
Perfect Starts Collide as Gravediggers and Beringen Meet Early
Gravediggers and Beringen United Mightyred have wasted no time turning the English Premiership into a two-team pace-setting act. Gravediggers were the sharper of the pair last time out, sweeping past carter city5:0 with five different scorers and yet another clean sheet. Four matches in, they still have not conceded, which makes their perfect start feel especially convincing.
Beringen, the defending champions, had a much tighter afternoon but found the same result in points. Ira Hancock’s late goal gave them a 1:0 win over NOMADS, keeping them level with Gravediggers on twelve points. Now the two unbeaten leaders meet, and it is comfortably the headline fixture: Gravediggers bring the league’s best defensive record, while Beringen bring title pedigree and Champions Cup confidence.
Behind them, Albion Allstars stayed unbeaten but needed a 90th-minute Jacob Wilson equaliser to rescue a 1:1 draw at The Tea Garden. Albion’s trip to carter city is a useful chance to stay close to the leaders, while Tea Garden host Atletico De Madrid after again showing they can make established sides uncomfortable.
Rougemont Rovers produced the round’s other major statement, beating Atletico 4:1 with Daquan Jordan, Pio Isea, Neo Merrick and Casey Danniell all scoring. That win pushes last season’s runners-up back toward the top group, and their visit to Phantom Force FC now looks like a chance to build momentum. Lower down, Heeley Harriers remain hard to beat after a goalless draw with crystal palace f.c, while Merlin Magic XI and Palace both need their meeting to become a turning point.
Football club Valur and Oldboys United finally met, but neither could take the early lead alone after a 1:1 draw.
That keeps both unbeaten on ten points, with Kangaroo Island and Junkers United also level in the wider race. The next round looks calmer, so the leaders simply need to avoid giving the chasing pack an opening.
Important games this round:
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Oldboys United (64 points), 2nd - Football club Valur (61 points), 3rd - Junkers United (51 points), 4th - Vikingur (51 points)• Promoted this season: Nothing Hill, Vikings Football Club, Skytturnar
Villa Win the Summit as Red Forest Face Immediate Response Test
Irish Villa Mob have taken firm early control of the Premier Division. Their 1:0 win over Red Forest was not spectacular, but it may be the most important result of the season so far. Eoin Kean scored the only goal, while Sean Smith helped protect another tight lead. Four wins from four, eleven goals scored and only one conceded is exactly the kind of start expected from the defending champions.
Red Forest remain second, but the defeat narrows their margin for error. Their next match against Hibernia now carries extra weight, especially with Hibernia coming off a solid 0:0 draw at Knockea United. Hibernia have lost only once, but draws are already slowing them down, while Red Forest need to show that the Villa defeat was only a setback rather than a warning sign.
fast n fit continue to look dangerous in third. Their 3:1 win over dubs4sam kept them level with Red Forest on nine points, with Philipp Lieuwen again central after his four-goal display the previous round. Their match against SportingHaroldsCross is a chance to keep pressure on the top two.
Myaella Fc are still unbeaten, though a third draw in four matches leaves them in the chasing pack rather than the title group. Their meeting with Knockea United should be one of the round’s more balanced fixtures. Elsewhere, Leinster Lions face the toughest assignment of the weekend against Villa, while Killarney Ravens FC will hope their 4:1 win over Vanilla Bears becomes the start of real momentum.
Wallace Army F.C landed the round’s key result, beating Dundonald Bluebell 1:0 through an 85th-minute Muhlis Metehan goal. The defending champions remain perfect after four matches and still have not conceded, a strong statement against last season’s runners-up.
Huntly FC kept themselves close with another narrow but valuable win, edging Fife Funk FC 1:0 through Ryan MacIntosh. Macduff Lions and Bingolspor FC shared points in a 1:1 draw, keeping the middle of the table tightly packed, while Celtic beat Hibernian F.C. 1:0 to steady their start.
The next round now sends Huntly to Wallace in the clear headline fixture. Bingolspor FC against Orkney Otters should also test the upper chase, while Dundonald need a response against Kirn FC.
Shooting Stars Stay Top as Hajduk End Roundabout’s Perfect Run
Shooting Stars SC remain alone at the top of the Superliga, though their latest win was far from simple. Orcun Sarialp scored inside two minutes against Mocni Veprovi, but the leaders still needed an own goal just after half-time to secure a 2:1 victory. With ten points from four matches, they are setting the pace without yet looking untouchable.
FK Lokomotiva United are just one point behind after another strong attacking display. Florijan Belsak scored twice in a 4:2 win at FK Radnik Bijeljina, with Dragomir Tanasijevic and Grey Samson also on target. Their meeting with FK Spartak gives them a chance to keep pressure on the leaders before the upcoming direct clash with Shooting Stars.
F.C. Mali Supermeni also stayed in the chasing pack, beating Club de Futbol Dve Sarme2:0 through two late Mads Nystad goals. Their trip to Belgrade City is one of the round’s more interesting fixtures, not least because the defending champions are still trying to find their league rhythm after a 2:1 defeat to Kasovac Maratonci.
The sharpest result of the round came from FK Hajduk Sydney 06', who beat previously perfect Roundabout2:0. Zivorad Stojakovic and Luka Obric delivered the goals, pulling last season’s cup winners closer to the top group. Their next visit to Kasovac Maratonci now looks like a serious momentum test for both sides, while Roundabout must respond against Mocni Veprovi.
Kapfenberg SV delivered the round’s sharpest result, beating NO MA´AM 4:1 behind a four-goal performance from Milos Kamnar. It keeps Kapfenberg unbeaten and pushes them into the early title pack, while NO MA´AM now need a quick response after slipping into mid-table despite their Challenge Cup progress.
FC Klagenfurt and Maribor FC shared a useful 1:1 draw, with Noel Kriess cancelling out Zarko Cicic to keep promoted Klagenfurt second and still unbeaten. AC Sienna also made a strong move by beating Wolfsberger 2:0, while Olimpija FC stayed top after a more routine win.
The next round brings the biggest match so far: Olimpija host Klagenfurt. Kapfenberg’s trip to BLλCK MESA and NO MA´AM against Sienna should also help separate a crowded chase.
Peacocks Hold Top Spot as Sarajevo and Belfast Close In
FC Peacocks almighty remain top of the Premier Liga BiH after a controlled 3:0 win over FK Ljiljan. Mijodrag Renci opened the scoring before Ismar Sisic added two more, while another clean sheet kept Peacocks unbeaten and still without a goal conceded after four matches. Their next trip to Belfast warriors is the round’s headline test, because Belfast sit only one point behind and have conceded just once themselves.
FK Sarajevo 1946 made the loudest statement of the round, beating defending champions BH Dragons4:1. Zulfo Prskalo struck three times, including two goals inside the first half-hour, and Sarajevo now look fully recovered from their opening defeat. Their next match against Blaugrana F.C should be another major measure, especially with Blaugrana needing a response after a heavy 3:0 loss to PARTIZAN FK.
PARTIZAN are back in the upper half thanks to that win, with Stjepan Kranjer and Nikifor Bulikowski punishing Blaugrana after the break. Their visit to Borac 1926 now looks more dangerous than it did a week ago, because Borac finally found their first victory in a wild 4:3 match against Zvijezda Gradacac.
Elsewhere, F.C. Imperial edged Dinny2:1 and now meet BH Dragons, who urgently need to steady themselves after two defeats in four league matches and elimination from the Champions Cup. With Peacocks facing Belfast and Sarajevo visiting Blaugrana, the top of the table could shift quickly.
Val United made the round’s key move, beating Lazio_1900 2:0 and staying the only perfect side after four rounds. CSKA Sofia, Kazanlŭk Thracians FC, SC BALKANEC BRUSSEN and Vereya F.C. all kept themselves close.
The next round now brings the biggest early checkpoint: CSKA Sofia against Val United. A home win would pull the champions into the lead fight; another Val United victory would make the chase much steeper.
Football Club SKA-Khabarovsk made the round’s biggest statement, beating defending champions Hunyadi János 3:0. An own goal opened the door before Kirill Bernatsky struck twice in quick succession, keeping SKA perfect and three points clear at the top.
Paksi Sportegyesület also claimed a major result, edging Szeged 1:0 through Craig Baines. That keeps Paksi unbeaten and sets up the next round’s headline: second against first, with a chance to cut SKA’s lead immediately. Szeged, fresh from Challenge Cup progress but now with two league defeats, face another demanding match against FTC Isti, while Hunyadi need a quick response after both their league setback and Champions Cup exit.
Alliance Edge Another Thriller as Ostrog Drag Returnees Back
For The Alliance remain top of the Prva liga, but their latest win showed both their strength and their vulnerability. A 3:2 victory over Grobari Berane kept them unbeaten, with Fausto Segata scoring twice and Cvetko Vujosevic adding the other. Still, Grobari pushed them hard, and that matters more than the points gap suggests.
The leaders now face another serious test against O.F.K. Ostrog, who produced the sharpest result of the round by beating Returnees1:0. Hakim Sabic scored the winner, and Ostrog’s defensive response was exactly what they needed after losing to S.V. Werder Bremen the week before. With Alliance first and Ostrog fifth, this is one of the clearest measures of the early title picture.
OFK BAR are only one point off the lead after edging Werder 3:2. Luciano De Barros struck twice before the break, and BAR did just enough to survive Werder’s second-half push. Their trip to Returnees is another major fixture, especially with Returnees needing an immediate reaction after their first blank of the season.
San Stefano FC, last season’s champions, also moved closer to the top group with a clean 3:0 win over STORMWIND, powered by a Benjamin Vogt hat-trick. They now host Club Atlético de Madrid S.A.D., who slipped again after losing 2:1 to promoted Yellow Pillow. Elsewhere, Yellow Pillow can build on that result against Shamrock Rovers, while Nottingham Forest’s unbeaten but draw-heavy start faces another examination away to Werder.
Grosuplje Stay Ahead as Dreamteam and Olimpija Find Their Punch
Grosuplje FC remain top of Prva SNL, but their lead narrowed slightly after a tense 0:0 draw with Borussia Dortmund. It was a useful result against another unbeaten side, yet it also leaves Grosuplje only one point clear of Grosuplje Dreamteam. With their cup run already over, the leaders now have a clear domestic focus as they visit Neverwalkalone.
Grosuplje Dreamteam produced the round’s strongest statement, beating Neverwalkalone 4:1. Milorad Nikolic was the difference, scoring three times before Mans Johansson added the fourth. That response to their defeat against Borussia puts Dreamteam right back in the title chase, and their next match against Olimpija 1911 should be one of the weekend’s best fixtures.
Olimpija arrive with momentum of their own after a dominant 4:0 win over FC Podgurje, powered entirely by Thomas Kuhn. Four goals in one match changes the mood quickly, especially after an uneven start from the promoted side. Podgurje, meanwhile, need to recover fast as they face FC Soccer Academy Red Bull, who are still hard to read after a 1:1 draw with Alkosi i drogeraši.
Alkosi remain unbeaten but have drawn three of four, so their meeting with Grosuplje United FC is a chance to turn resilience into progress. F.C.Barcelona. also missed a chance to climb after a goalless draw with United, but a home match against FC Loče Soccer Academy gives them a strong opportunity to stay near the top group. Borussia, still unbeaten and defensively solid, should be favoured against Inter Miami CF.
YPRES Stay Perfect as Goldstar Keep the Chase Alive
YPRES FC continue to set the pace in the Eerste Klasse, and the promoted leaders are no longer just a good early story. Their 3:1 win over eendracht kept them perfect through four matches, with Damiano Cioccardo scoring inside the first minute and adding another after the break. Ten goals scored, twelve points collected, and a three-point lead over the defending champions is a serious opening statement.
FC Goldstar responded well after their opening defeat to YPRES and remain the main pursuers. Their 3:0 win over Sasboys was patient rather than explosive, with Loren Radica, Wannes Van Cansinck and Casimiro Severino all scoring late. Goldstar now visit hammertime, a fixture with extra edge given both clubs’ pedigree and their ongoing international campaigns.
The closest battle in the next round may be kfc de preistampers against EA SERREKES. Both sit on seven points after solid wins: preistampers beat SC Betekom2:0, while SERREKES handled THE VILLABOYS by the same score. The winner could become the clearest third force behind YPRES and Goldstar.
Fc Bijou remain unbeaten, though another draw — this time 0:0 with hammertime — leaves them chasing momentum rather than the top two. Their meeting with Betekom is a chance to turn stability into progress. Elsewhere, Merchtem2016 will look to build on a strong 4:1 win over A.C. Milan 1899, while Milan and eendracht meet in a bottom-of-the-table match where both badly need a first league win.
Sá City Hold the Lead as Galacticos Prepare Early Champions’ Test
Sá City Futebol Clube remain top of the Superliga after edging Sá FC1:0. Aristides Luz scored inside two minutes, and that was enough to protect their unbeaten start. With only one goal conceded in four matches, Sá City have built their lead on control rather than noise, but the next round brings their biggest test yet.
Galacticos C.P., the defending champions, moved within a point of the leaders with a strong 3:1 win over Sport Machados da Surriba. Gabriele Brochon, Xavier Jardim and Eero Leino had the match largely settled before half-time, and Galacticos now host Sá City in the clear headline fixture. With Galacticos also advancing in the Champions Cup, this is an early measure of whether they are ready to pull the title race back toward familiar territory.
Futebol Clube do Porto stayed unbeaten by beating New Order3:0, with Pascual Marques scoring twice early. Porto’s visit to Vale Pisão looks manageable, but Vale arrive from a useful 1:0 win over S. C. Pena d´Alva and should not be dismissed lightly.
The other unbeaten side, ODC WaRrIoRz v2, dropped points in a 1:1 draw with Sumolix Stars. Their meeting with alfistas now has real weight, especially after alfistas beat FC Saense1:0 through Panya Suppadit. Saense, meanwhile, need a response against New Order, while the bottom-two match between Sport Machados da Surriba and S. C. Pena d´Alva already feels important for both sides.
Rutger Boll Klubb produced the round’s standout result, beating defending champions Norrlandsfotboll FC 2:1. Rasmus Gustavsson scored twice before Kleuber Araujo pulled one back late, handing Norrlandsfotboll their first league defeat while Rutger moved firmly into the chasing pack.
Nordic Vikings remain perfect at the top after a routine win, while IFK Hägersten kept second place with another strong result. The quieter but useful 0:0 between Bałtyk Gdynia and Eneby BK kept both within reach of the upper half, while Slovenia Dreamteam were held 1:1 by Uppsala Kickers.
Next round, Slovenia host Norrlandsfotboll in the clearest response test. Rutger against SuperIbra also has top-six weight, while Nordic face an awkward trip to Eneby.
The steelheads stayed perfect with a controlled 4:0 win over HyperVibes, as Luis Portal Frias scored three more and the defending champions kept their early lead. FC Albisrieden matched them on points with a sharp 3:0 win over Terror City United, led by two goals from Alexander Glaus.
The most valuable narrow result came from Fc Black Panther, who edged NK Bugojno 1:0 through Szczepan Wisniewski to move into fourth. fc walhalla also remain unbeaten after turning around an early deficit against FC Appenzell, while AC TORINO and FC KOFA cancelled each other out.
The next round gives the leaders a proper test, with Black Panther hosting The steelheads and Albisrieden facing Bugojno. KOFA against walhalla should also sharpen the chasing picture.
Kouba Crush Banu Zayan as the Chasing Pack Reshuffles
RC Kouba delivered the loudest statement of the Premiere division season so far, dismantling Banu Zayan FC11:0 in a first-versus-second meeting that was expected to be far tighter. Toufik Binya scored four, Jan Ingolf Riise and Joseph Xaba added two each, and the champions moved a point clear at the top while taking their goal difference to another level. After Champions Cup elimination, this was a forceful domestic response.
Banu Zayan remain second, but the scale of that defeat makes their next match against USM.GAZA a test of character as much as form. GAZA also arrive wounded after a 1:0 loss to alger united, who picked up an important stabilising win through Laid Zidane.
USM Alger missed the chance to move closer, drawing 2:2 with promoted USMKouba. Musa Tumer looked to have shifted the match their way, but USMKouba’s resilience kept them unbeaten in draws for a third time this season. USM now visit EL KSEUR STARS FC, who should have confidence after upsetting M.C.Algiers3:2 behind two goals from Rabie Benrrefane.
MPAlger continued their climb with a narrow 1:0 win over Mouloudia Club Oran, and their derby with M.C.Algiers is one of the round’s better-balanced fixtures. At the bottom end, The Black Pearl finally won, beating Itihad.Riadi.Ouled.Nail1:0, but they now face a tricky meeting with draw-heavy USMKouba.
Club Bolívar, Royal Pari, Blooming and Juan Carlo Balón all stayed unbeaten, keeping the top four locked together on ten points.
The next round finally brings a direct hit, as leaders Club Bolívar face champions Blooming. With Royal Pari and Juan Carlo Balón also waiting for any slip, this is the first real chance for someone to separate the early title picture.
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Blooming (61 points), 2nd - Royal Pari (61 points), 3rd - Juan Carlo Balón (54 points), 4th - Club Bolívar (51 points)• Promoted this season: c2h5ohhh, F.C. LEONES del ORIENTE, F.C. LEONES SANTA CRUZ
São Paulo Hold First Place as Udi City Close the Gap
São Paulo F.C. remain top of the Campeonato Brasileiro after taking the round’s biggest direct result, a tight 1:0 win over Candal FC. Filippe Godoi scored the only goal, and that was enough to keep São Paulo unbeaten through four matches. Their start has not been flashy, but six goals scored, two conceded and ten points collected is a strong foundation.
Udi City F.C, the defending champions, are beginning to look dangerous again. Their 2:0 win over Nivek United was built around Tulio Pinero, who scored in each half, and it moved Udi within two points of the leaders. With Champions Cup progress also secured, they look well placed to keep applying pressure. Their next match against Geny F.C is an opportunity to stay close before the schedule begins to tighten.
Candal FC dropped to third after losing to São Paulo, but they remain firmly in the early top group. Their meeting with Na Canela™ should be one of the better-balanced fixtures of the next round. Na Canela arrive with momentum after beating Geny F.C2:1, with Claudinei Noriega and Aelson Da Rocha striking early.
Guará E.C also stayed in touch, coming from behind to beat Desportivo Sol2:1 thanks to two Matej Smrdel goals. Their trip to Big Soccer FC looks useful on paper, though Big Soccer showed resilience in a 0:0 draw with Avanti Palestra!. At the bottom, Touro do Sertão face the toughest assignment against São Paulo after a narrow loss to Atlético Potiguar, while Avanti’s meeting with Atlético could help separate the middle pack.
NorVan FC kept their perfect start with the round’s most valuable win, beating The Lads 2:1. Ahmed Spijodic struck early and Ilie Amariei doubled the lead before Borenko Drljaca pulled one back, leaving NorVan alone at the top after four matches.
Bulletproof Monks stayed unbeaten with a tight 1:0 win over Football club de Taher, decided by Zbigniew Zeromski, while defending champions North Mississauga SC responded strongly by beating FC Newmarket 4:0. Quebec Football Club and Étoile Bordjienne also kept themselves in the crowded chase.
The next round brings two useful tests: Quebec face North Mississauga in a major top-four clash, while The Lads meet Étoile with both trying to stay close to the leaders.
C.D. Guadalajara produced the round’s key result, holding defending champions Octopus MX to a 1:1 draw. Daniels Nevarauskis had Octopus ahead, but Federico Barquin answered after the break to keep Guadalajara unbeaten and knock Octopus two points behind leaders Fc MEWA.
Perro Loko FC stayed in the upper chase with a valuable 2:1 win over Real Geminis, while Assisi Lagos Nueva Galicia edged Panteras Negras UAM by the same score. MEWA and C. D. Jorge Campos both added comfortable wins in less revealing fixtures, keeping the top six tightly grouped.
The next round brings two strong tests: Guadalajara host Perro Loko, and Jorge Campos face Octopus in a match that could reshape the early title race. Assisi also have a chance to keep momentum after their Challenge Cup progress.
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Octopus MX (57 points), 2nd - Fc MEWA (57 points), 3rd - Assisi Lagos Nueva Galicia (48 points)• Promoted this season: FC United Regensdorf, Tigres Dorados, Brancos FC
Galaxy LA remain top, but their perfect start ended with a 1:1 draw against defending champions FC Seher Bosna. Rogelio Eberhardt struck early, only for Spass Bojichkov to level after the break, leaving Seher Bosna still searching for a full league response after their Champions Cup exit.
Velez SC claimed the round’s sharpest win, edging New Jersey Stars 1:0 through Haukur Sveinbjoernsson, while Goal Diggers surprised SC Real Madrid 2:1 thanks to two goals from Nicu Ene.
The next round keeps the pressure high: Galaxy face SC Real Madrid, New Jersey meet Seher Bosna, and SmarTeam against Goal Diggers should test two sides coming off useful wins.
