This week saw yet another set of great matches in Division 2 for the third Matchday. This week’s matches included a first against second clash between Rafa F.C and Club Athletico Independiate. The race for the title is beginning to hot up as this weekend was filled with shock, horror and happy fans leaving home happy.

9-12 = 2 goals

:Match of The Day:
Old London Town 4 – 1 Dubai Faithful Soldiers
The Old London Town fans left the ground happy as they witnessed their team thrash Dubai Faithful Soldiers 4-1. Old London seemed to be in control throughout the whole match and ended up comfortable winners in the end.
The first goal came when Pirlo delivered a great long pass towards the un-marked Gilardino who had no trouble drifting past Keeper Santiago Canizarez and simply taped the ball into the net.
Old London doubled their tally after they were awarded a free-kick 30 yards away from the goal. Being the great free-kick master he is, Andrea Pirlo slotted the ball into the top right hand corner of the net. From here on, Dubai Faithful soldiers seemed doomed for a beating.
Eight minutes after half time, Old London Town made it 3-0 when Reo Coker made a great through ball to Javier Saviola but Mellberg seemed to trip him and Old London were awarded a penalty. Saviola placed the ball on the spot and comfortably placed the ball into the back of the net, making it 3-0.
On the 78th minute, Dubai Faithful midfielder Harry Kewell was running down the left flank before the ball was taken from his feet by Daniel De Rossi who from then made a 40 yard pass to Rafael Van Der Vaart. Van Der Vaart then ran past the defence and scored a incredible solo effort which made it 4-0. You would think this was game over for Dubai Faithful but...
On the 89th minute, after a long goal kick by Santiago Canizarez Old London Town’s defence seemed to be napping and Andy Johnson was left one-on-one against Weise who never saw the ball fly past him into the net but this was only a consolation goal.
Dubai Faithful seem to be on a losing streak at the moment, will they be able to get their first win of the season next week or will their streak of loses continue?

Division 2 – Rafa F.C 2 – 2 Club Athletico Indpendiate
This match saw first verses second with both teams evenly matched. This was poised to be a close game and it proved to be like that throughout the whole 90 minutes with both teams cancelling out each other’s attacks for most of the match.
As the match began In the sold out stadium, Rafa FC left back Roberto Carlos earned a free kick for his team after Ruben Baraja Tackled him. At 35 yards, Carlos was able to turn the ball into the goal and make it one nil. The Rafa FC supporters went crazy as Carlos celebrated his wonderful long rage free-kick.
At 39 minutes of play, Jerome Rothen ran down the left wing and sent in a swerved ball into the six yard box before it was volleyed into the back of the net by Filippo Inzaghi who was ecstatic about the goal. Going into half time, it seemed it would be one all.
As the clock said 59 minutes on it, Rafa F.C managed to go back in the lead after Papa Boupa Diop delivered in a corner kick and Jan Koller headed it homer, beating Marchena to the ball.
Just three minutes before the whistle, Gonzalez managed to break down the right flank and centered the ball into the six yard box. The ball was met by the head of Filippo Inzaghi who got his second of the game and sixth of the season. The Rafa F,.C faithful were cursing their luck as their dreams of a win were damaged.
