Sopot 49ers fall short of projections, find way to top szkiper's Chiefs, 96.98-49.44

Both teams failed to bring their A game, coming up short of their projected point totals, but Sopot 49ers did enough to get the best of szkiper's Chiefs, earning a 96.98-49.44 win. szkiper's Chiefs jumped out to a 13.00-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 14.5 points from Randall Cobb (3 Rec, 15 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Markus Golden (5 Tackles).

Sopot 49ers (5-3) will look to keep it rolling against Wroclaw Boozers, while szkiper's Chiefs (2-6) seek to get some positive momentum against Pretorians Skoczów.
