The Farmer Bunnies defeated former Indonesian national champions Juventus da Kudus by three goals to one today, to book their passage to the knockout stages of the Pacific Cup tournament. Former Saudi youth international Ibrahim Zahran Al-Maashany was the Buns' ace in the hole here, as he terrorized Semir Kasnik and Jenthe Mercy on the left, recording a magnificent hat-trick. Omar Vizcarra would pull one back for Juventus via penalty.

The three points and +2 goal difference was sufficient for Farmer Bunnies to quality ahead of II.4 club Benfleet Branch, who were unable to make up the goals in their 2-1 win over Russian fourth division leaders Harvest Barnaul. This leaves Farmer Bunnies to face Californian high-fliers SF Red Fog in the Round of 32, after the American II.1 side swept Group A comprehensively.
