In a huge week of stories, Manhattan FC lost twice and lost top spot that they’ve held since Round 5. Golden Boot leader Dale Ramos also went scoreless across the week.
Paris St Denis lost 1-0 at home to Bondi FC but then broke Tokyo Youth Club’s 9-game winning run giving them a 2-point advantage over Manhattan.
2 points now seperate 3rd to 6th. Tokyo won, then lost. Brasil Amazonia and South London United both won in Round 17 and then shared the points with a 1-1 draw when they met in Round 18. Bondi FC in 6th took home 6 points from their two matches.
Four teams from 7th to 10th remain in with a reasonable chance of breaking into that top 6 and playing finals football. Bengaluru face Naija United in Round 19 and then the off-form Manhattan in Round 20 and would fancy their chances of securing 6 points.

Florian Grava was impressed with most of Bondi FC’s defence in St Denis’ 1-0 loss in Paris. Or was he just using it as an excuse to throw shade at Kozbasic who he really doesn’t get on with?! Florian Grava Best Stories
Tokyo Youth Club couldn’t get to ten wins. A brilliant victory in New York City made it 9, but back-to-back games against the top 2 was always going to be tough. Their record for the season reads LLLLLLLWWWWWWWWWL.
Being on penalties can always boost the goal scoring tally, but for CS Palermo’s Salvador Broglia he has hit the jackpot this year. Palermo have been awarded 10 penalties, of which Broglia has taken 8 and scored 1. The next-highest in terms of being awarded penalties are Inter Nusantara who have 4, the two US teams Manahttan FC and FC Angelenos have none.
Two sides sit clear with the worst disciplinary records in the league. FC Angelenos and Inter Nusantara have each committed 12.9 fouls per match, and have racked up 42 yellow and 3 red cards and 41 yellow and 4 red cards respectively.
