A great match between Barça and Benfica, with a strong return of the portuguese team on the second half for reaching the draw (ahead of 2500 people in PalauBlaugrana). Return to win FC Porto, after an emotional game in Dragao Caixa against Noia, always in the game, beaten only in the last minutes (3-2). But the huge surprise of the day is the first fall for the European Champion: in their fort, Sporting was defeated by Reus, leading 0-3 after the first half, and finished 2-3. The italian Lodi overturn the group thanks to this result, and reach an unexpected first place (5-4 to Quevert). In Group D instead the Forte dei Marmi blocked in the last minutes the first Oliveirense for 1-0; they will try to defeat Liceo La Coruna next game for reopen the group. The spanish instead beats Saint Omer and reach the first place with Oliveirense.
In WS Europe Cup only Trissino and Igualada overturn the results of the first leg, both on the penalties after two dramatics matches. Trissino overturn the 3-0 of the first leg instead Igualada scores 6-5 in the regular periods before the penalties. Braga managed the win in Italy after the 5-5 in the first 25 minutes, thanks a strong defense (3.2). In the quarterfinals there will be a catalan derby Voltregà-Caldes, a historic fight Barcelos-Igualada, an uncertain Braga-Follonica and the unexpected Trissino-Dornbirn: 3 spanish teams, 2 portugueses and italians, and as last year, one austrian.
