Round 2 started with Fleet Street Elite A versus DHL Prague. The former had lost their opening fixture narrowly whilst and the latter had claimed an emphatic victory so a simplistic prediction would be to plump for an away win.

Fleet Street Elite FC, as we have seen in the write up to Group A, were making a third eurofootballfives.com appearance. This was the first time they had entered two squads. Their core squad (for want of a better phrase) made their debut at the 2013 Lisbon Tournament making a fine start with a 5-2 victory over Breckland FC. Defeat followed to Hungary's Csabagyongye before victory over FC Dad (1-0) and 2 defeats to the 2 Portuguese sides in their group. They finished 4 th in their group and qualified for the Plate Semi-Finals before going out to FC Dynamoes. Their 2 nd appearance was at the 2015 Budapest Fives where they finished 4th in their group to progress to the Plate competition. They drew 2-2 in the Quarter-Finals with Peckham Legends to go on and win the penalty shoot-out. A narrow 1-0 defeat to Spain's Naranjitos saw them exit at the Semi-Final stage.

Having lost the opening game they found themselves trailing at the break in this one as DHL Prague's Rupert Baltrock opened the scoring. The Czech team scored 4 in their first match and were on the goal trail again. Lukas Lesbovsky, Baltrock again and Dan Finley all found the net as they struck four again to record a fine 4-0 win. DHL Prague were on the charge.

To complete Round 2 we had Spider Mans & Eagle versus 9 Nana Budds. It was a contest between two first game victors and a second win for either side would see them join DHL Prague at the top of Group C.

Both teams had been solid at the back in Round 1 with 9 Nana Budds keeping a clean sheet and Spider Mans & Eagle just conceded a consolation goal whilst continuing to attack. In fact, 9 Nana Budds group phase strength over the years has been built on defensive solidity – they had conceded just 13 goals in 17 previous group games. It was therefore no surprise that we reached half-time all square, 0-0, in this one.

After the break Spider Mans & Eagle found a way past Tim Moore in the 9 Nana Budds goal as Ryan Stevens struck to put Spider Mans & Eagle 1-0 up. It was a goal that would earn his team all three points.

The result put Spider Mans & Eagle level on 6 points with DHL Prague at the top of the table but they were second on goal difference. 9 Nana Budds were in 3rd place but with three games to go were still well placed in the chasing pack to gain Cup qualification.
