AC Omonia and Vegakameratene both clinched early progress from the preliminary round on Sunday, while Gyri ETO FC and Helvcia Futsal London won their openers.
Read moreAC Omonia and debutants Vegakameratene are the first teams through from the UEFA Futsal Cup preliminary round after the second day of action.Norwegian representatives Vegakameratene beat Group D hosts MFC Varna 5-3 in Bulgaria on Saturday and followed that up with a 3-2 defeat of Denmark's BGA Futsal.
Kim Rune Ovesen scored either side of the break and Petter Hvik made it 3-0, but they only just held on as Kevin Jrgensen claimed two quick goals and then hit the post when acting as a flying keeper.As for Varna, they followed up with an exciting 8-5 win against Iceland's Fjlnir and that left Vegakameratene unassailable at the top of the section regardless of Tuesday's concluding results.
They progress to main round Group 4 next month against Czech regulars FK EP Chrudim, Polish hosts Akademia FC Pniewy and Belgium's MFC Real Chatelineau.A route to the main round also opened up for Omonia in Group G after their Saturday victims Paris Sporting Club, inspired by Betinho, defeated Erebuni Yerevan 6-1 in the early game in Nicosia.
That meant Omonia, who came back from 3-0 down to beat Paris 5-4, knew a win against KS Flamurtari would take them into the next stage.Flamurtari had overcome Erebuni 5-1 on Saturday but missed an early chance through Adi Alovi and were then overwhelmed by Omonia.
Manolis Manoli and Andrejs Aleksejevs stood out in a 6-0 win, and Serbia will now be Omonia's main round destination where hosts KMF Ekonomac Kragujevac, Ukraine's Uragan Ivano-Frankovsk and Israeli team Asa Ben Gurion await in Group 6.Group E began on Sunday in Vienna and could also potentially be decided tomorrow.
Hungarian side Gyri ETO FC, boasting a strong mix of home and Romanian internationals, saw off FC Anzhi Tallinn 9-0 with four different double goalscorers, including the impressive Zoltn Drth.After that game, Helvcia Futsal London, who face Gyr on Monday, overcame hosts Stella Rossa Wien 7-3 with a clinical display.
If Helvcia win tomorrow and Anzhi do not beat Wien, they would become the first English side to pass through a round of this competition in nine attempts.
Likewise, Gyr will progress regardless of Wednesday's results if they prevail and the Austrian hosts do not, with the winners of this mini-tournament to go into a main round group containing FC Barcelona.Also on Monday, Group A starts in Scotland and Group C kicks off in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Two further sections commence later in the week.
