Already in the last but one group match, the Saidercray national team has made the advancement and the group victory clear. After a 3-1 victory against the team of Abu Omar, Saidercray leads with an advantage of 6 points and 5 goals to the 2nd place.

With the self-confidence of three victories, Saidercray controlled the match from the beginning to the end.

In minute 24, defender and team captain Uguel headed the ball into the goal of Abu Omar after a corner by Baqura. Yet only two minutes later, Abu Omar equalized, again with a header following a corner. For the next 17 minutes, the match became more open, until Baqura scored the lead for his team when he kicked a ball into the goal which had hit the crossbar shortly before after a shot of Pawlson. In the second half, only one more goal should follow: In minute 60, Ho increased to the upshot of 3-1. Mortey, who had come in minute 46, played a flat cross into the penalty area, and Ho conveyed it into the goal with the sole of his foot.

Only three goals against Saidercray in four matches speak a clear language: Marco Vondelick's plan to improve the defense after IDUFC 2006 (Saidercray Today reported) obviously yields fruits. Though still playing 3-4-3, Saidercray does no longer rush against the adverse goal, yet aims at transfering the events slowly, but continuously into the opponents' part of the field and, once it is there, sticking it to this are until there is a chance for a goal. Furthermore, team captain Uguel who injuredly missed the IDUFC performs excellently in his role as the head of the defense rank.

Directly after the match, while first fans already began to celebrate into local pubs, Vondelick proclaimed the new devise: go for gold. "Where is the team against which these boys cannot win? It's nowhere. We do now want the golden medals and we know we can get them."
For the last group match against Estresse Intenso, he furthermore announced to let many young players have their turn in the beginning team - news which might annoy Ariddians since both Ariddia and Estresse Intenso have 6 points at the moment.
Meanwhile, hopes for a new match against Mikitivity disintegrated. The IDUFC 2006 winner who eliminated the Storks in the semi-final is the last team in group B with 1 point from four matches. On the other hand, the third IDU team, Malabra's, still has good chances to advance aswell.
