Germany 2 - 4 Austria

 Austria won this germanic derby with a fine display of crisp attacking football against a weakened team from Germany. After Antonio's well-worked opening goal early in the first half, Rocco banged in two more. The second of these came at the end of a lovely passing move involving James in midfield and Adriano on the left. Kevin had one good shot before half time but Aron saved well.

Germany re-grouped in the second half and Federico forced Aron into another save. The Germans played well but, in the Austrian defence, Simon was even better. He stopped attack after attack and played calm passes out of defence to his midfielders in wide positions. But Maverick did find a way through and he scored to give Germany some hope. Then Ashton forced his way past two defenders and blasted another one in to make it 3-2! But hopes were quickly quashed when Austria attacked at the other end and, following a goal-mouth scramble - went 4-2 up thanks to an unlucky own-goal.

BEST PLAYER POINTS: Simon 4, Rocco 3, Antonio C 2, Martti 2, Federico 2, Lucas P 2, Aron 1, Adriano 1, Kames 1, Ashton 1, Maverick 1, Kevin 1
