And they're all won

Estresse Intenso - Saidercray 0-2
Saidercray:
Palmington - Humphrey, Bank (46. Garvew), Zuckerer - Butcher (57. Giney), Encel, Mortey, Moycon - Johnson-Clark, Ho (68. Brownland), Pawlson
Goals: 0-1 Moycon 27., 0-2 Johnson-Clark 56.

The series of victories simply doesn't break off. Saidercray's B-team, in which third goalkeeper Jeffrey Palmington made his debut for the national team, won 2-0 against Estresse Intenso and shot them out of the olympic football tournament.
Contrary to what croaks had predicted, the already established group winners from Saidercray apply themselves to listless ball-passing, but joined in the game as if something would be on stake for them - especially the permanent substitutes like Palmington or Johnson-Clark wanted to use their chance to present themselves and their capacities in an international set exercise.
The Estresse Intenso team, obviously having reckoned with another way of playing, reacted startledly and couldn't put up a lot against the white dressed Storks in the first15 minutes. Then, it appeared that Estresse, who had good chances to advance with a victory, had managed to adjust to the situation, and first good attacks from their side were seen. But this endured only until minute 27, when after a very good chance for Estresse a long goal kick of Palmington flied over the withdrawing team to right midfielder Moycon who shot it into the goal before a defender had catched up with him. After another 10 minutes of despairing assault resulting into a great chance, but not into the equalizer, Estresse's fighting spirit was broken and the match shallowed, as also Saidercray feeled that the 1-0 could probably be enough for the 5th victory. However, one more goal should follow in the mostly boring second half, in which no team did much more than necessary: Close to Estresse's penalty area, Johnson-Clark snatched a horizontal pass and directly kicked the ball into the goal's net, scoring his first goal in his third match for Saidercray.

In the quarterfinals, Saidercray, which is the only IDU team which survived the groups, is the favourite against Reineberg, 2nd placed team from group D with good offensive qualities, as they scored 14 goals in 5 matches. Experts expect that Vondelick will trust on the defense which has grown a lot stronger since IDUFC 06, which shall catch Reineberg's attacks and directly introduce counter attacks with fast forwards like Dishyatt or the recovered Cunio.
In the three other quarterfinals, home team Capitalizt Slani plays against St. Samuel, Wentland against Cafundeu and Ariddia, who profited by Saidercray's last victory, against Bazalonia.

A look at other sports

In female basketball, Saidercray advanced along with Malabra and will face Sativaville in the quarterfinal. The female football team clearly missed the first two places in its group and has thus been eliminated, as is the male basketball team. Cyclists Key and Tyler qualified for the first round in men's individual pursuit, and Kevin Inide will participate in the 100 m breaststroke finals, although his chances to gain a medal are small. Those of Susan Chaah are better, who qualified together with Prisca Vigoda for the woman's 100m breastroke final and was 4th in the semifinal.
Tabler's gold from cycling remains Saidercray's only medal so far, but more may come.
