Enfield Town’s Queen Elizabeth Stadium hosted its largest ever crowd at the weekend as 1500 fans packed into the ground to watch CONIFA World Football Cup action continue.

The stadium is hosting a number of games during the tournament, including Saturday’s third-place play-off and final, which will be refereed by former Premier League official Mark Clattenburg.

The tournament is for teams which are not affiliated with Football governing body FIFA and Enfield played host to its first match last Thursday in Group B when current holders Abkhazia took on Tibet.

Ruslan Akhvlediani opened the scoring for Abkhazia in the 14th minute, before second-half strikes from Dmitri Maskaev and Ruslan Shonya sealed a 3-0 win over Tibet, who had to play the dying seconds with 10 men after one of their defenders was sent off.

Later the same day, Northern Cyprus were also in action at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium, but they couldn’t get off to a winning start as they were held by Karpatalya.

It was Cyprus who struck first through Kenan Oshan, who turned the ball home from close range after a goalmouth scramble, but they were pegged back by Karpatalya, who hadn’t trained before the game, just six minutes after half-time as one time Plymouth Argyle striker Gyorgy Sandor calmly slotted past the goalkeeper.

Both teams had chances to win the match, but Cyprus, like Tibet earlier in the day, would also play out the final few minutes with10 men after Ahmet Sivri was given his marching orders.

The Queen Elizabeth Stadium then played host to its biggest ever crowd on Saturday, as an estimated 1500 fans flocked into the ground to see Northern Cyprus pick up their second win of the tournament with a 3-1 win over Tibet.

Cyprus took the lead barely a minute into the game when Halil Turan controlled a ball over the top before slotting the ball into the back of the net.

Further chances came and went for Cyprus, who were punished for the profligacy in front of goal when Tibet equalised four minutes before half-time as Kalsang Topgyal scrambled the ball home from close range, much to the delight of the fans inside the stadium.

But Turan would put Cyprus back in front in the 66th minute after he notched his second of the game, before Ugur Naci Gok’s well executed chip sealed the victory.

Earlier the same day, fans inside the ground had seen Abkhazia downed by Karpatalya, thanks to strikes from Zsult Gajdos and Istvan Sandor.

Things went from bad to worse for Abkhazia on Sunday, as their reign as holders came to an end when they were knocked out of the tournament after being held by Northern Cyprus.

After Turan had missed a glorious opportunity for Cyprus, Abkhazia took the lead in the 18th minute when Maskaev’s effort from 20 yards flew into the back of the net.

Unal Kaya nodded home from a set piece to get Cyprus back on level terms and the visitors took the leads 15 minutes after the break when Oshan pounced on a mistake to put his side in front.

Vladimir Argun converted a late penalty from Abkhazia to set up a nervy finish, but it proved to be too little, too late, as the reigning champions were dumped out.

Western Armenia then thrashed Kabylia 4-0 later the same day thanks to strikes from Arman Mosoyan, Vicken Valenza Berberian, Herant Yagan and Vahagn Militosyan.

Enfield will host one semi-final tomorrow before the third place play off and final take place at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium this Saturday.
