Barcelona, Spain - The league leading F.C. Barcelona Dragons entered Saturday's contest with the Berlin Thunder hoping to distance themselves from the rest of the pack provided they could muster their 5th win of the season. However the Berlin Thunder jumped out to a 21-0 first half lead and never looked back as they handed the Dragons their second loss of the season and first since Week 1.
The Thunder came out determined as Henry Burris led Berlin on an impressive 95-yard opening drive that took over eight minutes of the clock. Burris, allocated by the Chicago Bears, completed 6 of his 7 passes for 70 yards during the drive which was capped off when David Allen (Jacksonville) found the endzone from 4 yards out. Burris did an excellent job of keeping the Dragons defense guessing as he spread the ball to five different receivers during the drive. Allen also provided Burris with a great compliment on the drive as he racked up 24 yards on the ground in leading the Thunder to their 7-0 lead.
Following Nick Murphy's (Minnesota) second punt of the first quarter the Thunder offense went right back to work where it had left off. However Burris gave way to Phil Stambaugh for the second quarter and there was not much difference in the production as the Thunder continued to impose their will on the Dragons.
