Only three teams remain with maximum points but the undefeated number rises to four. In addition to Barça, Benfica and Oliveirense, Sporting also remains unbeaten. Next Wednesday the Lisbon derby will most likely decide first place in the standing. Three teams that know no stops, despite their matches having been very difficult, decided only in the last minutes. Barça with two more goals from top scorer Rodrigues had three points against the Barcelos team, while Oliveirense Simoldes managed to remain unscathed in Italy at Lodi with Cardoso’s decisive goal. Two victories for Benfica, the last against Reus Deportiu Virginias who had also taken the lead, but the three Argentines in the team made the difference, as has often happened in recent history. In Group A, Centro Porsche Firenze VH Forte inflicts another defeat on Deportivo Liceo 4-2, while in Group B Sporting and Parlem Calafell draw 2-2, still keeping the door open for qualification. In Group D, after the initial advantage of the French of SCRA Saint-Omer, Valongo Colquimica comes out at a distance with a twice from Ramos. The cards are shuffled again in Group C, which like a year ago, Porto Fidelidade Porto and Hockey Trissino are at the top of the table, thanks to the second victory achieved against respectively Finques Prats Lleida (1-2 decided by Helder Nunes) and Tomar IPT (4-2 two goals by Mendez). In two weeks the first return match with the reversed field match on the third day where the undefeated teams could close the chapter on qualifying for the quarter-finals already two matches early.Live scoring as always on http://wse.sidgad.com
