Tavria and Polonia Limerick renewed their rivalry in Lloret de Mar, having previously met at the 2025 edition of the tournament in Barcelona. On that occasion, Polonia Limerick came out on top with a 2–1 victory, with both sides eventually finishing in the top two places in their group. This year's meeting proved to be another entertaining contest between two familiar opponents.

Polonia made the perfect start once again, with Lech Madejek opening the scoring. It continued an outstanding run for the Polonia forward, who had now found the net in each of the team's first three games. Tavria responded to level the match, however, and the Ukrainian side ensured the scores were tied at 1–1 going into half-time.

Polonia regained the lead after the restart when Colm Hyland scored his second goal in as many games. Tavria once again refused to go away, finding another equaliser to make it 2–2 and set up a thrilling finish. With both teams pushing for the decisive goal, the match remained finely poised before Polonia finally began to pull clear. Madejek struck again to complete his brace and put Polonia back in front at 3–2, before Aiden Hyland added a fourth. It was another goal for Hyland, who had now also scored in three consecutive games, underlining the attacking form of the Polonia side. The final whistle confirmed a 4–2 victory for Polonia Limerick, maintaining their perfect start and giving them another win over Tavria after last year's success in Barcelona. Polonia Limerick made it 3 wins out of 3 with 9 goals scored, they were looking formidable.

Polonia Limerick came into the tournament as winners of the 2024 & 2025 editions of this event. Over that period in Porto, Barcelona and so far today they had played 15 games at Super Veterans level in eurofootballfives.com competition with 12 wins, 3 draws, 0 defeats scoring 41 goals in the process and conceding just 8. They were up against their toughest task so far today against AFV Valles Maresme who had 2 wins out of 2 today.

With neither team having dropped a point today, there was plenty at stake as they faced off for early supremacy. Valles Maresme had also yet to concede a goal in the tournament, but that impressive record was soon put under serious pressure by a confident Polonia side. Polonia Limerick made the breakthrough when Colm Hyland found the net in the first half. It was Hyland's third goal of the tournament and, significantly, the first goal that the Spanish side had conceded during the day. Valles Maresme were unable to respond before the interval, leaving Polonia with a narrow 1–0 advantage at half-time.

Polonia continued to control the contest after the restart and extended their lead through Remigiusz Sarbak. With Valles Maresme now needing two goals simply to draw level, the Polish side remained on the front foot and soon added a third when Artur Sukiennik found the net. The final whistle confirmed an impressive 3–0 victory for Polonia Limerick, preserving their perfect record and establishing them as clear leaders at the top of the group. Hyland's opener ended Valles Maresme's defensive resistance before Sarbak and Sukiennik completed a convincing win, giving Polonia three more valuable points as the group stage moved towards its conclusion.

Tavria and Bushells Old Boys met in a game that was crucial for both teams qualification hopes. Both teams currently sat on 3 points and a win for either team would secure the victor's safe passage into the next round. In fact, if the teams drew then they could both guarantee Plate qualification at the expense of The Warriors. It was clear though that neither team were playing for a draw. Bushells quickly established control and opened the scoring through Steve Lacey, giving Tavria an early deficit to overcome. The Ukrainian side struggled to find a way back into the contest as Bushells continued to press.

Bushells doubled their advantage when Danny Wood found the net, putting further pressure on Tavria. The English side were firmly in the ascendancy and added a third before the interval, with Neil Morgan completing the scoring in the opening half. Tavria went into the break facing a three-goal deficit at 0–3. The Ukrainian side showed greater resilience after the restart and managed to get themselves on the scoresheet. Vyacheslav Kondratenko pulled a goal back for Tavria, giving them something to build on and ensuring Bushells could not simply cruise through the remainder of the match. Despite Tavria's second-half improvement, Bushells Old Boys held on to their advantage and secured a 3–1 victory. Lacey, Wood and Morgan had done the damage before half-time, while Kondratenko's consolation provided Tavria with some reward for their improved second-half showing.

In the final game of Group A, The Warriors needed a big win to move level with Tavria and progress at the Ukrainians's expense via goal difference. AFV Valles Maresme needed a point or better to go through to the Cup in second position. A defeat would see them finish in third place and drop to the Plate with Bushells Old Boys going through to the Cup instead.

It was AFV Valles Maresme who made the brighter start, with Ivan Monionell Savri finding the net to put the Spanish team in front. The Warriors were unable to respond before Savri struck again, giving Valles Maresme a 2–0 advantage. The Warriors went into half-time two goals down but came out with renewed determination after the restart. Their efforts were rewarded when Andy Chrascina pulled a goal back to make it 2–1, giving the English side hope of completing a comeback. For a period, The Warriors looked to have given themselves a route back into the contest.

Any hopes of a comeback were extinguished when Savri completed his hat-trick, restoring Valles Maresme's two-goal advantage at 3–1. The Spanish side continued to look dangerous and eventually added a fourth through Jordi Barich Marquez, putting the result beyond doubt. The final whistle confirmed a 4–1 victory for AFV Valles Maresme. The result confirmed the Spanish team's qualification for the Cup competition. Sadly for The Warriors it meant their tournament was over as they would finish fifth in the table.
