Quarter-Finals
Nova England 2-1 New Brittania
The hosts sneaked through to their second semi-finals in two tournaments. After reaching the inaugral FMF World Cup semis last year, a late winner against New Brittania pushed them through to one step from the inaugral EMU Championships final.
New Brittania took the lead, surprisingly, after half an hour, when Daniel Perry's cross from near the half-way line picked out Thomas Malt who jumped into the ball and made a clumsy contact. The ball hit off his shin, but found its way through Paul Larkin's hands, off the inside of the post, and into the net.
The Nova English had to wait until the second half before they could put their fire-power to the test. They pulled a goal back after just twelve minutes after the restart. Ka'an Peterson, who has been instrumental for them all tournament, layed a perfect ball between Bob Mitchell and Frank Young from the dead-ball line to find Callum Sorrel, who tucked the ball past John Rogers from four yards.
Nova England's winner came with two minutes remaining, thanks to some amazing play by Peterson, again. The strong frontman started a run from 30 yards out, hustled his way past Robin Southwell, then beat James Price and Vincent Spencer with a cheeky little drag-back and flick forward, before unselfishly laying it back for captain Marcus Downs to lash a goal from the edge of the area. Rogers was helpless to it, and couldn't even get fingertips to it before it ripples the back of the net in the top-left corner.
Riponia 1-1 Taesong 4-3 pens.
Taesong got so close to beating their parent nation, but were edged out earlier than they wanted to be by the cruelness of the penalty shoot-out.
Taesong flourished into the game, and almost scored with a brilliant Lee Gu-Bin 20-yard strike, but John Smith managed to parry the ball away low-down to his left post. Taesong did take the lead, however, after some bad defending by Riponia. Smith received a pass-back from Matthew Ragnus, but he decided to attempt a chip over the on-coming striker to find Caragger. This didn't exactly work, and he hit the ball straight at Lee Ahl-Yung. The FC Fiorecittàman controlled it and side-footed the ball past Smith with his left foot to put Taesong one up near the end of the half.
Riponia levelled the match with just under fifteen minutes remaining. Lee Hong-Jo's pass to Lee Jo-Hoon was sloppy, and substitute Tristán Lennon raced ahead to pick the ball up. He sprinted down the right wing and laced in a tempting cross. Alex Kiker met it at the front post, and managed to get enough of a flick on the ball to take it past the 'keeper's reach. Andrew Lee then slid in to toe-poke the ball in, with Lee Nam-Hwan, his marker, watching on.
And so it stayed like that until the whistle. Penalties it was to decide who would reach the semis. Riponia went first.

Passas 2-0 Interland
Łukasz Dąbrowski became a jinx as he sunk his home nation after coming off the bench in this tightly-fought match.
Interland had the upper hand for the most of the first half, only a handful of excellent saves from East kept Passas on level scoring terms. The best of Interland's chances came near the end of the half, after Stede Bonny gifted them with a corner. Filip Maskat's extremely deep cross picked out Dariusz Drzewny at the opposite side of the box. Drzewny lined-up a superb left-footed volley, which swerved through the crowded penalty area before crashing into the Passasian crossbar.
The second half didn't bring as much luck to the Interlandians. Passas broke early from the kick-off, and James Custis' header off Stephen Glasgow's cross was the perfect tonic to lower Interland's esteem. Dąbrowski then came on with 25 minutes remaining. His energy and youthfulness seemed too much for Interland to cope with, and with time almost up, he tricked his way past Andrzej Anders, who had been in top form prior to this meeting. Dąbrowski then, with a deft touch, dinked the ball over the diving Kepp to knock Interland out at the quarters.
Cräiteland 3-1 New South Vietnam
New South Vietnam looked to have started another surprise in this round with their superb start to the game, after surprising a few people in reaching the quarter-finals in the first place.
They went one up after 20 minutes, when Phan Hoang Trần skipped past Manta Pellegrino's tackle, and ran for the line. He poked in an early cross, before Jon Larsen could challenge him, and Đặng Minh Thach leaped up above Zóma-ó-Täó and powered in his header past Vorgensen.
Cräiteland saved a life-line with five minutes to spare before half-time, when Alexis Tereminus threaded through Freddie Gaärsen, who first-timed his shot under the Ripon City Magnets' Dương Văn Minh.
Cräiteland hit their winners early in the second half, clearly being told by their manager to kill the game off quickly. Freddie Gaärsen got his second of the match with a two-yard tap-in thanks to some good play and an inch-perfect pass from Hänä Zensen. Zensen then got the all-important third on 54 minutes when he won and took a free-kick just outside the "D". Nguyễn Hữu Văn was the guilty party, with a late lunge on Zensen. He was puniched with a yellow card, whereas New South Vietnam were punished with losing the match.

Meh... If we qualify to quarter finals, we always play with Passas. And we never win with them . But quarters are good too

Semi-Finals
Passas 1-0 Nova England
The hosts were narrowed out at the last hurdle by Passas and their youthful strikeforce, and forced to play in their second thrid-place play-off in as many tournaments.
A tight game generally, with neither team giving the other many chances. The best Nova English chance came with ten minutes remaining in the first half. A deflected Austonov cross was headed down by Sorrel to the feet of Peterson, whose snapped effort went agonisingly wide of the post.
Passas, again, brought on their super-sub, 17 year-old Łukasz Dąbrowski at half time. He partnered Phillip Sherman, himself only 21 years old, and their play broke down Nova England's defence. Sherman it was who scored the eventual winner, after 67 minutes of play. Dąbrowski was vital in the build-up, playing two one-twos with Verkslamp and Pazi, respectively, before chipping the ball over the defence to find Sherman. His first touch was poor, but he managed to get a good contact on the ball with his second touch, good enough in fact to beat Larkin at the post.
Passas had the chance to double their lead with 14 minutes left. Sherman was pulled down 23 yards from goal by Austonov. Dąbrowski picked himself to take the resulting free-kick, and his curling strike hit the post before Austonov cleared the ball before any of the Passasians could react to finish it off.
Riponia 1-1 Cräiteland 5-4 pens.
An even tighter game in the second semi-final, with the continental majority facing up against their small close island neighbours. It was the larger nation who took the lead after only nine minutes. Tristán Lennon found Alex Kiker with a low, curling cross from his right wing. Kiker, who himself plays in Cräiteland's football league, hit a fantastic goal from the 18-yard line. With the outseide of his right boot, he managed to curl the ball around Vorgensen, and into the top corner spot he picked before he took the shot.
Cräiteland were stunned after hoping to not give away an early goal, but they managed to pull another back only 20 minutes later. Some good defensive passing out-foxed the Riponian midfield, which let Markko Edmildón to race down his left side. His cross was flicked on by Alexis Tereminus, over Christian Mackintosh, and straight onto the right boot of Freddie Gaärsen. Gaärsen hit the ball from eight yards, on the volley, past Smith before he could realise.
The second half brought nothing of as much interest as the first, and the game ended all equal. Another penalty shoot-out to decide who went through to the next round; this time the next round being the final. Cräiteland went first.

*JA Larsen - Goal

*Manta P - Saved
**J Routledge - Goal
Craitish captain, Manta Pellegrino's, penalty was saved fantastically by John Smith, with the 'keeper diving to his left and getting a strog palm on Manta's slightly weak shot. Jermaine Routledge improved on his previous penalty take, and went for power over placement. That proved decisive as his shot thundered past Vorgensen, who went the wrong way.
