Jamaican third division winners Il Conte Gastone Brilli-Peri's Scuba D'ivers Club came up with maybe the most stunning upset Grilled had suffered in the competition, as they bowled the Birds for four mostly playing on the break. American forward Phil Pitt made one and scored one, before strike partner Jeronimas Bulkaitis polished the game off.

Ang Leong Kum had to defer to fellow ex-youth international RJ Lipman after the wipeout. "He was some smooth operator. There was no keeping him under wraps."

This was however sandwiched by two very healthy Grilled wins, with Slovakian Division Five team Maramelské kone dismissed 7-1, and then German Division Eight reps 11 Möpse und ein Blubbel dismissed 8-0. Captain Tian Yonghang was probably the brightest spark throughout, scoring twice in both games.

Of course, two defeats and a draw means that the Birds have next to no hope of progressing to the knockout stages, but Tian was pragmatic on that. "I love the club, but frankly we're not at that standard at this moment."

It was two draws and a defeat for Farmer Bunnies, as they started the day with a tight 1-1 against Brussels-based FC BRUGES TILL I DIE, before a nil-all turtling act against Estonian Division Five Tuulemäe. Czech Division Five champions FK VOGUE then prevailed 2-0, to mark an undistinguished outing from the Buns.
