The long awaited first round of Wes Cup took place this week, and it delivered some major upsets.
Brasília and Liverpool, last season’s finalists, both lost their opening matches. Brazilia was caught out by Addis Ababa in what was a shockingly stale display by the American champions. Liverpool can count themselves unlucky as they faced a tough Pristina side, and were denied by their impressive goalkeeper and strong counter attacks. Both matches finished 2-0.

Qualifying for the knockout stage could now prove to be a struggle for both teams.
In other news, Naples, Ankara and Houston all put in dominating displays. They are likely to be among the favorites for the cup this season.
In perhaps the most interesting game of the round, Beijing were incredibly lucky to survive an onslaught by Stockholm, with the goalkeeper saving an incredible nine shots. It was a surprisingly dominant performance by the Swedish club over the many time cup winner. But somehow Beijing managed to get a win, squeezing out a fortunate 2-1.
