Group B
Result: Paulo Neto 3-2 Seanldw

NikSNEB came out on top in the Battle of the Brits as he dismantled Tekkz 5-3 in their opening game. His exceptional finishing was the game-changer in this match, as Tekkz couldn't stop any of his attacks.

Loser Bracket Round 1
Result: seanldw 3-3 Tekkz (Tekkz wins 4-3 on penalties)
Arguably the biggest nailbiter of the night as Tekkz and seanldw were forced to go to penalties as both players failed to earn a victory in regular or extra time. Tekkz' last penalty shootout resulted in a loss against Abu Makkah at the FC Pro World Championship, but there were no issues this time around as he did enough to defeat his opponent.
There's still hope for @Tekkz as he beats seanldw via penalties! š«Ø#FCPro pic.twitter.com/3o3WYOzBt4

Loser Bracket Round 2
Result: Bandar 2-6 Tekkz
Despite a wobbly start to his day, Tekkz looked like his old self again, delivering a fantastic performance against Bandar. Bandar failed to handle Tekkz' potent offense, as the Brit used Robbie Keane to punish his opponent at every opportunity.

Result: Paulo Neto 3-1 Abo Fawzi
After missing out on the inaugural FC Pro Open, Paulo Neto secured his spot in this season's competition with a great comeback victory over Abo Fawzi. It looked like Neto might have a difficult contest as Abo scored early on. However, he maintained his composure and battled back to earn the victory.

The first shock exit of the day came in the match between Jonny and Agitpower, as the eChampions League 2024 winner was sent crashing out of the competition. Many backed Jonny to make it to this season's FC Pro Open, but the VFL Bochum player couldn't stop Agitpower's potent attack.
