Desert Rats FC worked their way into a slender lead in the current Cup Round, defeating a solid opponent 2-1 with a goal from substitute striker Aleksandar Plavsic with a minute to go. In the early evening match, the Rats trailed 0-1 and 1-2 but cast off the shackles in the second period, netting 4 goals to record a 5-2 win, but lost goalkeeper Florian Saskin to an injury late on.

Nouvion Ville FC had two wins also today, the first in the League marred by an early injury to free-kick taking central defender Buti Thulo, and the second an unexpectedly difficult Cup tie against a lower-Quality team whose manager attended the match and put in some inventive formation and personnel changes to keep the Nouvion Management on his toes.
