✅ Podgoria Murfatlar 4-0 Steaua Red Wings
A clash at the top turned into a statement win for Podgoria. Steaua, the league leaders, started strong but Danniell had one of his inconsistent days and wasted key chances early on. Podgoria took full advantage, punishing defensive mistakes to take control before halftime.
The second half saw Steaua push forward, but they ran into an inspired Culina in goal. A late error sealed their fate, confirming a heavy defeat that not only cost them the match but also dropped them to third place. Podgoria, meanwhile, reclaims the top spot.
➤ Soimii Sibiu 0-1 Abatorul Slobozia
Abatorul’s disciplined defense proved too much for Soimii, who struggled to break through despite a determined effort. The reigning champions absorbed pressure, relied on Bundalo’s solid goalkeeping, and struck decisively with a Pirvu stunner.
With this win, Abatorul moves up to second, just one point off the top. Soimii, meanwhile, slips further down the table— and with matches against both Podgoria and Steaua ahead, their real test is yet to come.
➤ Pretor 3-0 Vitezistii
A brutal first half doomed Vitezistii, conceding twice while failing to create chances. Adjustments after the break brought some danger, but with Petre in top form, a comeback was never on the cards.
Both teams remain mid-table, with winnable matches ahead—though “on paper” means little in this league.
➤ Elsewhere in the league: Universitatea Cluj 2-0 Sparta
U Cluj takes the win in a battle of newcomers, but both need to find some consistency if they want to avoid trouble. 23 Mai Onesti 2-0 Giunamea Armaneasca
Onesti's hot streak continues, while Giunamea tumbles into the danger zone with a third straight loss. Navigator 1-0 Barcelona
Da Mata's moment of brilliance sinks Barcelona further, extending their losing streak to six.
Matchday 10
A clear gap is forming
✅ Podgoria Murfatlar (1) vs (5) Universitatea Cluj
The leader ignores who they'll be facing next week—it could be the U Cluj that has won as many matches as Abatorul, or it could be the U Cluj that has lost as many matches as Sparta.
What Podgoria knows is that both of their title direct rivals will be facing teams in the bottom half of the table, so they better produce a win if they don't want to find themselves in third place.
➤ Abatorul Slobozia (2) vs (9) Navigator
Navigator finally caught a break, but they're still in deep waters, and now they'll be facing Slobozia, who, after a weak start to the season, are now in prime position to continue ruling the league.
On paper, it looks like the most unbalanced match of the day, but that also means this is potentially the most surprising result if Navigator manages to come out alive from the slaughterhouse.
➤ Steaua Red Wings (3) vs (8) Soimii Sibiu
Steaua may be third, but their recent form says otherwise. They need a wake-up call before they drop out of contention. Meanwhile, the unpredictable Falcons will look to pounce on their slump.
➤ Elsewhere in the league Sparta (10) vs (4) 23 Mai Onesti
23 Mai is in top form, collecting 10 of the last 12 points. Sparta has improved, but they need more to escape the red zone. Giunamea Armaneasca (11) vs (6) Pretor
Giunamea’s form is worrying, but Pretor’s unpredictability gives them hope. Which version of the Magistrates will show up? Vitezistii 4S (7) vs (12) Barcelona
V4S wants to bounce back, but Barcelona, despite their poor record, has been more competitive than the table suggests.

The much anticipated top of the table clash between Albion Allstars and Gravediggers ended in the much the way that much vaunted games often do so - a little bit disappointing. The two teams ended up sharing a goalless draw, although Gravediggers keeper Headley Seward was much the reason for that as he made ten saves to keep Albion's attackers at bay. It leaves both sides still unbeaten to start the season, the Allstars remain four points off the league leaders in second. Beringen United Mightyred would have hoped to narrow the gap to the top two with victory in their match with Rougemont Rovers - but they lost out to a Darcy Triggs header midway through the second half. Rougemont were the only side in the top six to take all three points, with The Tea Garden and Aston Villa F.C. sharing a 1-1 draw.
None of the top six play each other in Round 10, which makes it harder than usual to naturally link into an upcoming fixture! Gravediggers host Blyth-OK, who seem to be sinking deeper into a relegation battle with every passing week - they were beaten at home by Phantom Force FC. FosterE's side have built up a little cushion back to 8th place, and will hope to crack the top half by beating and overtaking The Tea Garden. Merlin Magic XI now have two wins in three matches and have made their way out of the relegation zone; they won at the hapless Chester Ducks who lost players to suspension and injury - when it rains, it really does pour for Mike778 this season. It gets no easier for the Ducks on the weekend as they travel to the reigning champions Beringen who will still be smarting from losing their unbeaten run, with Merlin facing a tricky trip to the Midlands to tackle N4TH4N's Aston Villa F.C.
There was an entertaining game at Doom, with crystal palace f.c coming from behind twice to Kacey Hambleton's goals to take home a share of the spoils with Ooza Looza. With palace struggling for points, that grit and determination will be a welcome site for makkyb1 and they'll look to build on that momentum when hosting Rougemont Rovers. No team has more goals for and against than Ooza Looza, and no team has fewer goals for and against than Albion Allstars, so something has to give when they two clash in the next game.

Both teams still remain unbeaten after round 9.

All the other games in the premiership were draws.
A look ahead to round 10
Red Forest v dubs4sam
Forest sit in 3rd place in the league, they drew 0-0 in their last home game. dubs4sam will be looking to follow up on their win in the last round and a chance to move out of the bottom 3.
Leinster Lions v Killarney Ravens
It’s 9th place versus 7th place, both teams struggling to put any sort of good run together. So far the Lions have been under achieving this season, they need to kick start their season or they could be in trouble.
Knockea United v Irish Villa Mob
Again we have two teams who are massively under achieving this season. Both teams are normally challenging for the number one spot, but not this season.
SportingHCross v Hibernia
New boys SHC have had a good season so far, they currently sit in 4th place. They have shown they are no mugs when it comes to taking on the top teams. Today they face the current league leaders and champions of last season, can they pull off an upset. We will see.
Myaella Fc v Irish Knights
Myaella had a great start to the season but have struggled a little in recent games. Still they are in 5th place. A win today will move them further away from their opponents.
As for Irish Knights, they could find themselves in the bottom 3 with a lost here and other results not going in their favour.
fast n fit will take an easy 3 points today which will mean 10 games undefeated so far.

Futebol Clube do Porto vs. Sumolix Stars
Porto is coming off a strong away win against FC Saense, but they now face the in-form Sumolix Stars, who just took down Grupo Desportivo de Sá. The visitors are pushing for the top spot, while Porto is looking to break into the upper half of the table. Expect a tactical battle with Porto needing to control Sumolix’s attacking threats.
Desidrogenase Alcoólica vs. Vitoria de Setubal
Setubal is still leading the league but dropped points last round in a 3-3 thriller. They now face a struggling Desidrogenase side desperate to escape the bottom. A crucial match where Setubal must win to hold onto first place, while the hosts will look to pull off an upset.
Grupo Desportivo de Sá vs. Águias da Rocha
After suffering their first defeat of the season, Grupo Desportivo de Sá will be looking to bounce back against a dangerous Águias da Rocha side. Sá remains a title contender, but they must prove they can respond after a setback.
Galacticos C.P. vs. imbativeis
Galacticos have been on the rise, with back-to-back wins pushing them into fourth. They now face imbativeis, fresh off a 3-1 victory. Both sides have momentum, but Galacticos will want to use their home advantage to solidify their standing.
Castendo Futebol Clube vs. S. C. Pena d´Alva
Castendo remains stuck near the bottom and is in desperate need of a win. Pena d´Alva, on the other hand, showed their resilience last round with a thrilling draw against Setubal. This could be a decisive match for both teams’ seasons.
Sá City Futebol Clube vs. FC Saense
Bottom-placed Sá City is still looking for their first win, but FC Saense won’t make it easy. Saense has had an up-and-down campaign but will see this as a must-win to stay in the race for the top spots.
In Round 10, there will be only one active game, between the first-placed team and current champion Club Atlético Ciclón and the fifth-placed team Juan Carlo Balón, Ciclón is the favorite and should win at home and continue its great campaign in which it can be crowned champion once again.

Matchday 9 brought intense emotions and key results in the title race.
➤ Nueva Galicia 1-0 Mewa
A match with unfinished business. Last season, Mewa was a headache for Nueva Galicia, who couldn't beat them. This time, the league leader got revenge with an early goal in the 7th minute, taking advantage of a defensive lapse. From then on, it was a constant back-and-forth, with the goalkeepers as protagonists. In the second half, Mewa pushed forward, even making an offensive substitution, and had their best chances in the closing minutes. The feeling was that Mewa was about to equalize, and with that the title race would shift. In the final play, Mellini fired a dangerous shot, but Garica sealed the win with a great save. Nueva Galicia secures the top spot until the end of the first half of the season.
➤ Octopus 4-0 Perro Loko
No surprises here. Octopus set the pace from the start and was already ahead by the 2nd minute. Perro Loko held on longer than expected thanks to their goalkeeper, Kabrine, but the difference in squad quality was clear. In the second half, Octopus put the game away with three more goals: two great team plays and a flawless free kick from Mayonga. There were several cards (Octopus got 2 yellows, Perro Loko 1 yellow and 1 red), although the sending-off came late in the game so it didn't affect the score. With this result, Octopus remains in the title chase but has no room for error in the two remaining matches before the first half of the season ends.
Matchday 10
Octopus in pursuit
➤ Guadalajara (6) vs (2) Octopus
With all the title contenders picking up easy points this week (and next), Octopus needs a win to stay in the fight. The problem? They face Guadalajara, who not only proved they can trouble strong teams by beating Campos but also got the better of Octopus last season—winning away and drawing at home. This season’s circumstances are different, though, but this match will be a real test for the team from the capital.
* Torreón (7) vs (3) Campos
Torreón has a chance to measure themselves against a strong opponent and keep gaining experience. The season is long, and every match is a step in their development. That said, the gap between squads suggests Campos should take all three points comfortably.
Panteras, Perro Loko, Nueva Galicia, and Mewa face inactive teams, meaning they will collect 3 points without effort.
The first half of the season is coming to an end, and the margin for error is shrinking!
The top two won their games against the teams directly below them in the league table to increase the gap at the top. The unbeaten run of New Jersey Stars now stands at an astonishing twenty-seven league games - two goals from Liam O'Sullivan was enough to get the better of Galaxy LA who remain in third place. It was a bit closer for FC Seher Bosna, but they remain five points off the summit with a 1-0 victory against NY Cosmos who slipped back to sixth with other results going against them. New Jersey host the team who replaced the Cosmos in fourth last weekend - that's FC Orlando Gators who got the better of SmarTeam, and it gets no easier for the league's bottom side when they host FC Seher Bosna next.
Seven points from a possible nine available has seen mexico city put their dreadful start to the season behind them and out of the bottom three already! They managed to double their league goal tally in one game, scoring three in a comfortable away success at Beyond. They'll hope to lengthen their short unbeaten run at the weekend when they play host to Rabbid Badgers who were maybe a touch unfortunate not to get anything in their game with Velez SC in Round 9. Velez moved into fifth with the win, and now face a team in freefall; SC Real Madrid have lost their last five and conceded thirteen goals in the process to go from third to tenth in the division. They were soundly beaten by TeamScout who are very much going in the opposite direction, winning three and drawing one of their last four, and now just a couple of points away from third place.
TeamScout will have further opportunity to progress up the league table if they can come away from NY Cosmos with a victory, whilst Galaxy LA will try and hold onto their position in third with a trip to Beyond who need some kind of a response after their hammering by mexico city.
