The Group Of Death Threats concludes with all four teams somehow still in the race to qualify for the next round. Some have a simpler path there than others:
Matchday 3 fixtures:
@GDeep™ vs @UpTheChampionz
@jones vs @Steps
GDeep will qualify with a point, but a heavy loss to UTC brings Clifton Clive into the mix. For now Steps and Jones will play a de-factor play-off for qualification, with a point for Steps also likely to result in qualification.
Onto the action...
A fast start for Jones FC, as they get out on the front foot early on. Ronaldinho is at the centre of everything good and he's bearing down on goal...
Penalty!! Oh dear, Koulibaly has taken him out when he was in!! The ref points to the spot and books the Senegalese CB!! Pirlo is going to step up and take it...
As cool as you like!! 1-0 to jones after a classy penalty and a dream start!!
GDeep has just been informed of the score in the other game...
His mood quickly improves though as Figo comes forward looking to threaten the defence. He chips a ball over the top to Bergkamp who kills it instantly with his chest and he plays a perfect layoff for Romario...
Romariooooo!! 1-0 to GDeep after a well worked team goal and they're up and running!!
No time to dwell on that goal as Jones FC are capitalising on their fast start by continuing to pile on the pressure. After Ronaldinho spent the opening spells of the match tormenting the defence now it's Di Maria's turn as he looks to drive into the box..
He screams for a penalty but the ref gives a corner!! Pirlo walks over to take it with Di Maria close to tears and swings the ball in...
Vieira towers over everyone to make it 2-0 to jones!! He rose high to meet Pirlo's ball in to double the lead and give them complete control of the game!!
It's all happening in Group C as jones is running rampant in his match while GDeep is turning the screw against UTC. David Villa gets in behind following a ball from Enzo and he squares up the defender, before getting to the byline and cutting it back. The defence gets in the way but the ball pinballs around before it ends up at the feet of Romario...
He double his tally with a simple tap in!! 2-0 to GDeep who looks to be cruising to the quarter-finals unless Clifton Clive produces a fightback for the ages.
Over in the other game, Steps FC try to get something going in attack but the lack of width is making it tough for them. The two midfield trios are cancelling each other out leaving Klose and Batistuta isolated up front...
No such problems for GDeep as the game threatens to become a procession to the finish line as UTC tries to repel wave after wave of attack. Figo advances down the right and plays a 1-2 with Enzo before firing a ball to the back post just beyond the outstretched hands of Akinfeev in goal...
He nods it in to make it 3-0 to GDeep!! They're running away with it now and look certain to win the group!! UTC seems more disturbed by jones' performance right now as he watches the game on an iPad in the dugout...
We finally see some signs of life from Steps in an attacking sense as they get a corner kick after some neat play from Kaka. The ball comes into the box and gets cleared by only as far as the edge of the box where Zinedine Zidane is waiting...
His shot goes just wide as the defence desperately tried to close him down. Bounou was scrambling across his goal to reach it but the shot missed the target which proves to be the last action of the first half.
The scores as we head into the break:
GDeep 3-0 UpTheChampionz
Jones 1-0 Steps
Some changes as we begin the second half with Reyna and Hagi being dragged off for Deco and Valderrama as Steps looks to find a way back into the game. The subs make an immediate impact as we see a noticeable shift in intensity, with Steps FC now looking full of energy after sleepwalking through the first half. Just when it looks they're going to build up a head of steam, they lose possession cheaply in the middle of the park allowing jones to break. Kroos surveys his options and decides to shoot instead of passing...
OFF THE CROSSBAR!! Jones FC inches away from essentially wrapping up qualification after a lightening counter attack, but Kroos can't keep his shot down nearly enough!!
No time to catch you breath in this game as Steps FC are right back down the other end with Kaka growing in influence, and he weaves his way through the midfield with the defence backing off. He plays a clever pass between the center backs for Batistuta to run on to...
Smashed in off the post!! Within 30 seconds we go from a possible 3-0 lead for Jones to a 2-1 deficit for Steps!! The Argentine wraps his foot around the ball first time and beats the keeper before he knows what's hit him. Game on.
An odd atmosphere in the other game as both managers high five each other after learning about that Batistuta goal. Not much action in their match as the second half threatens to peter out, not the case elsewhere though...
Steps FC have seized the momentum and are once again threatening the goal. Their first set piece opportunity is cleared for another corner, and this time it'll be Kaka to take it. He puts in an outswinger that leaves the keeper in no man's land...
And Koulibaly takes full advantage!!! It's 2-2 after two goals in 10 minutes for Steps after the former Chelsea rose high above the nearest defender to power it home!! He makes up for his mistake on the penalty and now has Steps in the driving seat to qualify!!
More cheers for GDeep and UTC as they celebrate Jones' downfall together but that friendship could get tested as GDeep FC come forward for another attack. Figo has been the danger man throughout but instead of setting up a teammate again he goes for goal himself...
Right into the top corner!! 4-0 to GDeep and it's becoming a rout as Akinfeev can only watch it sail past him!! GDeep turns to his assistant and says this is the best matchday he's EVER seen as Figo caps off one of the best individual displays of the entire tournament.
Jones FC find themselves under severe pressure and decide to go direct just to get the ball out of their own half for a bit. It actually works as the whole team is able to move up the pitch and they get their first decent spell of possession for some time. Ronaldinho plays a diagonal to the right side for Di Maria who shifts the ball to his left to whip in a cross for Cavani...
Cavani goes for the spectacular but gets it horribly wrong!! It's out for a goal kick, but the Uruguayan might have done more with that chance.
More subs for both teams as we head into the closing stages of the match. Steps will be joining GDeep in the Quarter-Finals as it stands, so the onus is on jones to find a goal. They try to build patiently from the back but Steps FC have found a second wind this half and somehow pressing relentlessly even at this late stage. They manage to win it back for Zidane who continues to pull the strings in midfield...
He waltzes through the entire jones team it seems like and before you know it he's bearing down on goal. He doesn't even look at his teammates running off him with only one thought in mind, to have a go himself...
GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT. COMEBACK COMPLETE. Zidane puts his laces through the ball and Bounou is beaten all ends up!! 3-2 to Steps as the crowd erupts as soon as the ball hits the side netting!! A disastrous second half for jones and now he's left needing 2 goals without reply in the final 10 minutes if he wants to advance.
UTC has emptied his bench at this point and subbed on players no one knew existed. The gamble seems to pay off relatively well as the finally get some shots away on goal, but nothing to trouble Buffon in goal. The problem for UTC is every time the ball comes back at his team and GDeep FC play their way through for the umpteenth time. This time it's Bergkamp's turn to have a go and he uses the defender as shield to unleash a curling shot to the far post...
It's 5 for GDeep!! An expert finish from the master and it caps off a wonderful performance for the team. UTC FC fought bravely but they look a beaten team as the gulf in class becomes evident. Luckily for them the attention seems to be elsewhere as Jones FC throw everything they can at tyring to find a miracle...
They seem to be playing a 3-2-5 at this point hoping to get as many men in the final third as possible. Steps FC to their credit manage to clear everything getting thrown at them, but there's no doubt they're dropping deeper and deeper with each attack. The 4th official's board goes up to signal 6 minutes of added time as Jones' boys continue to pump the ball into the box. Ronaldinho collects the ball on the wing and tries to take matters into his own hands by swinging a teasing ball into the six yard box that causes confusion at the back...
It's in!! 3-3 in stoppage time as Kenett Andersson of all people manages to toe poke it in!! There's an inquest at the back for Steps as the defenders expected Lee to collect but he thought his defenders would clear!! The miscommunication in defence allows the Swede to score with just minutes remaining and Jones FC still requiring one more goal.
The game restarts with total chaos as jones' players press like mad men to get the ball back. Steps FC try to play keep ball but it's proving to be a struggle with fatigue setting in.
In the midst of all this chaos, Dennis Bergkamp has just doubled his tally on the night to make it 6-0 to GDeep with a trademark volley!! A wonderful goal to cap off a dominant win, however, the eyes of both managers are on what the other two teams in the group are up to...
Steps FC boot the ball forward hoping to relieve pressure as Zlatan looks to hold it up. He manages to control the ball with a defender hanging off his back and plays a little pass back to Deco who gets taken out by Pirlo...
RED CARD. The Italian desperately lunges to win the ball of Deco but goes studs up on the Portugal man and leaves the referee with no choice. A tough break for jones but that proves to be the last gasp for his boys as they exit the tournament without losing a single match.
A wild matchday ends:
Jones 3-3 Steps
GDeep 6-0 UpTheChampionz
Group C comes to a close with some great games as UpTheChampionz found himself GDeep in trouble, while jones had to watch his opponent take Steps into the Quarter-Finals. Good night.
| Wins | Draws | Losses | Goals For | Goals Against | Points | |
| GDeep | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 4 |
| Steps | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
