The target for all competitors going into Season 3 on the FIFA World Leagues Predictor was to hit the ground running. SuperBenfica realised this goal emphatically, correctly foreseeing all ten results and seizing bonus points to win a signed FIFA World Cup™ winner's jersey. 

OWEEZU's nine accurate predictions, coupled with bonus points, left him second. The match that cost the Venezuelan unfolded in Australia, where the draw he anticipated transpired to be a 5-0 win for Gold Coast United over North Queensland Fury.

Lens and Monterrey surprise
Tottenham Hotspur's 2-1 victory over Liverpool and Lens's first win of the season over Auxerre earned their backers 85 and 52 points respectively. In Mexico, Monterrey handed Toluca their first loss of the season, thanks to a solitary, 69th-minute goal by Humberto Suazo, to earn those who predicted the upset a 72-point reward.

Derby thrills
The PSV-Ajax derby lived up to fans' expectations. After trailing 2-1 at half time, the Eindhoven outfit stepped up the heat. Otman Bakkal scored a brace and Balazs Dzsudzsak added his second of the game to PSV a 4-3 victory that was worth 55 points.

Elsewhere in Europe
Although Glentoran trailed Portadown at half-time, a last-gasp goal snatched the reigning Northern Irish champions three points and their backers 67. In Sweden, IFK Goteborg and Helsingborg, who finished level on points in last season's Allsvenskan, played out a 2-2 draw that was worth 79 points.
