Despite the minor hiccup that was their loss in Belgrade, the Cineplexx Blue Devils finished the spring season the same way they started it -- strong. They beat the Budapest Wolves, just as in the season opener, and beat them big again, 40-0, behind Tino Muggwyler’s three touchdowns.

The Blue Devils found way to another comfortable win, despite struggling to score early on. Christian Steffani broke the tie with a touchdown late in the first quarter, paving the way for Muggwyler to score two more for a 19-0 halftime lead.

The Wolves were not only unable to score, but they conceded a touchdown to Arno Weiershäuser on a blocked punt recovered in the end zone. Joe Sturdivant scored prior to that for a 26-0 lead. With the score at 32-0, Muggwyler punched the last one in for the final score of 40-0.

At 4-1, and with the Wolves at 3-4, the Devils clinched at least the second spot in the group -- even if they end up losing their remaining three games, they would still qualify over the Wolves because they won both games over them this season. What’s more likely though is that the game between the Devils and the Vukovi scheduled for the 27th of October will be one of the more interesting ones of the fall season, as it will probably decide the top team of the group.
