As the Cenial Senates' rode their first game to victory 2-0 against fierce rivals, the Michosplak City Aliens, their opponents in the second game of the Cenian Cup defeated them in an upset. The Senates lost 3-2 to new team the Mesa Verde Jugadores, lead by team captain Paul Noyola. Three goals by striker Sean Gonzales cemented their victory. A last-minute goal by the Senates' striker David Lonberry wasn't enough to break the lead. An early lead left the Senates hopeful, but bungling and a poor defense led the Jugadores to score. Soccer analysts say at this pace, the Jugadores could win the Cenian Cup, the first for a new team. Cenial fans were left in tears again, even after losing out last year to the Aliens. "I hope that the Senates can go to the final round next year, " says supporter Carson Anemistiras. "They really need to improve their playing, though." Soccer is a popular sport in Mesa Verde and it was no trouble cobbling up a team in Ceni's newest acquisition. In the second round, the Nananian Inundiats defeated the Lonar Starships 5-0 and the powerful team the Katinal Podosfairos defeated the Pandolo Pangolins in a close game 2-1. Pandolo fans knew their defeat was coming, although the second-placers from last year's cup were hopeful.
