😍 He’s got Laura Wontorra beaming: the Icon League play-ins team
Yesterday’s play-ins had it all. Major decisions were made, two teams secured their direct ticket to the semifinals – and several players stood out in particular. Here is the Team of the Play-ins.

There was no way around Alex Taach in goal. The keeper frustrated Two Stripes United’s opponents, Fokus Eagles, with 19 saves in the win and was one of the key factors behind the team’s run to the semifinals. The shot-stopper has also been named to the national mini-football team for the European Championship in Tirana – performances like this show exactly why.
The next player also comes from Two Stripes United. Kaies Alaisame was outstanding again in the win over Fokus Eagles. He set up two of the three goals in regular time before deciding the game himself in overtime. With a shot into the top corner, he sent Two Stripes straight into the semifinals.
FC Berlin City are also in the semifinals, above all thanks to Noah Jones. In the spectacular 12-11 win over Plyrs United, Jones scored four goals, including the decisive strike in extra time.

The next player fired his team into the finals in the first place: Marcel Halstenberg. In the win against The Pack FC, the former Germany international scored a hat-trick and also set up another goal. That means Bürgeramt are through to the quarterfinals, while The Pack’s season is over.
The Team of the Week is completed by Ian Prescott. The attacking player led the Wontorriors to victory over the Berlin Underdogs and was directly involved in six of the team’s eight goals. He assisted three and scored three more himself during the Rulebreaker one-on-one. It was an outstanding performance from the 33-year-old, one that visibly delighted team boss Laura Wontorra.
