The round also saw the Saudi team DR7 and the Moroccan team Ultra Chmicha qualify for the quarter-finals, and a new record was set for the highest number of goals scored in a single day with 70, breaking the previous record of 55 goals.
This is the seventh win for the FWZ team in eight matches. Although Islam Morsi, the Turbo team's top scorer, opened the scoring, the FWZ team maintained its offensive momentum, as both Lionel Alderete and Souhaib Rektout scored a "double goal," in addition to a penalty kick successfully executed by the team's vice-president, "Hnoudi Awesome," to seal the victory. With this result, the Turbo team suffered its fifth loss this season, and the FWZ team will meet the Moroccan team Ultra Chmicha on the ninth matchday, while the Turbo team concludes its league stage journey by facing Bakhira FC.
The defending champion, the Saudi team DR7, succeeded in achieving an exciting 9-8 victory over its compatriot, the Rising Peaks team, in an unforgettable "Saudi Derby." This win came despite the DR7 team missing key players who joined the Saudi national futsal team, led by Abdullah Al-Aqili and Nawaf Arowan. The excitement reached its peak in the decisive moments, as the DR7 team managed to equalize the score at 6-6 through Sultan Azzaz, whose penalty kick goal was doubled thanks to the Star Player Secret Card. The Rising Peaks team responded with a double goal from the star player via Ali Al-Nimr, leading both teams into the Matchball Mode—the decisive period of the match after the 36th minute—with the Rising Peaks team leading 8-6. The DR7 team rose strongly during the Matchball phase, as Igo Kanindi scored two goals, one of which was a penalty, to make the score 8-8, before the team's goalkeeper, Davy "Major" Nata, played the hero role and scored the decisive goal to complete a stunning comeback. The DR7 team is preparing to face the Jordanian team 3BS in the ninth round, while the Rising Peaks team will meet the Jordanian team Red Zone.
The Qatari representative, ABO FC, achieved a dramatic 8-7 victory over the Moroccan team Bakhira FC, led by co-presidents Achraf Sdiri and Younes Zarou. Jonathan Patton played a pivotal role in ABO FC's victory, as he succeeded in executing the secret card penalty kick, and also scored the response goal in the penalty shootout against the Bakhira president's penalty, keeping his team in the competition.
The excitement extended until the final moments of the Matchball phase, where Galdi Hugo established himself as a star by scoring two goals in the 39th and 50th minutes to give ABO FC the win. This represents the third victory for ABO FC this season, while Bakhira FC received its sixth loss, becoming the first team out of contention for the knockout stages. Bakhira FC will conclude its league matches by facing the Egyptian team Turbo on October 23, while ABO FC will play against the Saudi team RA2.
The RA2 team succeeded in turning its deficit into a valuable 5-4 victory over the Jordanian team 3BS, which dominated most of the match and entered the Matchball phase leading 4-3. However, the determination of the RA2 players led them to achieve a stunning comeback and snatch the win. The fate of RA2's qualification for the quarter-finals is now in its own hands, as it will guarantee qualification if it wins against ABO FC at the end of the league stage, while 3BS is preparing to face the defending champion, DR7, in the final round.
The eighth day's matches concluded with the victory of the Jordanian team Red Zone, led by team president Maherco, with a score of 6-5 over the Moroccan team Ultra Chmicha, led by Ilyass Elmaliki, after overturning a two-goal deficit during the Matchball phase. The Red Zone team entered the Matchball phase trailing 5-3, but fought fiercely to equalize the score at 5-5 before the Egyptian star Mohamed Abdel Fattah scored the decisive winning goal. This result left the Red Zone team with a record of four wins and four losses, while the Ultra Chmicha team tasted the bitterness of its third consecutive loss. The Red Zone team faces the Saudi team Rising Peaks in the ninth and final round, knowing that a win will guarantee its qualification for the quarter-finals. On the other hand, Ultra Chmicha, which has already secured qualification for the quarter-finals, will meet the leaders, FWZ.
