All teams had now played each other once and the Group B table had begun to take shape. The two teams at the top were World Pintuer and FC Mahou. They met again in Game 7 as they had done in Game 1. Earlier in the day they had played out a competitive game that World Pinteur had edged 1-0 at the end. If World Pinteur could repeat the feat they would move 4 points clear at the top. FC Mahou could leapfrog above their opponents with a win of their own.

In their previous encounters, there had only been 1 goal in 4 halves of football so it was perhaps no surprise we reached half-time all square in this one, 0-0. The second half continued in much the same vein, with both sides knowing that one goal could make all the difference in such a tight contest. FC Mahou eventually found the breakthrough through Mike Brandon, who struck his third goal of the day to give the English side a crucial 1-0 lead. It was a significant moment for several reasons: Brandon continued his excellent scoring form, and, just as importantly, he became the first player to beat World Pinteur goalkeeper Benoit Botteau during the tournament. After three successive clean sheets, Botteau's impressive run had finally come to an end. The goal proved to be the difference between the sides, with FC Mahou protecting their advantage to secure a valuable victory and avenge their earlier defeat to the French team.

The result had a major impact on the Group B standings. FC Mahou climbed to the top of the table, while World Pinteur's unbeaten record for the day was gone. The French side had conceded just once across their opening four matches and had lost only this one, making their subsequent slide to third place particularly harsh in light of their defensive consistency. Their three clean sheets in the first three games had provided a superb foundation, but this narrow defeat demonstrated just how fine the margins could be in such a competitive group. For FC Mahou, meanwhile, Brandon's winner was another important contribution in a productive day in front of goal, and the victory put them in a strong position as the race for the knockout places intensified.

FC Poloboc and JK Silvertown B renewed acquaintances in a fixture that carried significant consequences for both sides as Group B entered its decisive stages. Their earlier meeting had gone the way of the Moldovans, who edged a 2-1 victory, and they arrived at this rematch with contrasting pressures. FC Poloboc were looking to keep their Cup qualification hopes alive and maintain their bid for a fifth eurofootballfives title, while JK Silvertown B still had an outside chance of reaching the top two. For the English side, however, the margin for error had become extremely small: they needed to win all three of their remaining matches, starting with this one, to give themselves any realistic hope of climbing the standings. Both teams knew that another defeat could prove costly, making this a crucial encounter in the battle for the knockout places.

JK Silvertown B made the ideal start by taking the lead through their number 17, giving the English side hope of reversing their earlier defeat and keeping their qualification ambitions alive. FC Poloboc, though, had other ideas. Victor Gingota, who had also scored in the Moldovans' previous game against FC Mahou, once again proved influential by finding the equaliser and bringing the score to 1-1. Gingota was not finished there, going on to score again and turn the match around, putting FC Poloboc 2-1 ahead. Having fallen behind, the Moldovans had responded with determination, and Gingota's brace gave them control of a match in which the points were becoming increasingly precious. Grigore Badea then added a third goal for FC Poloboc, making it 3-1 and giving his side breathing space as they closed in on a vital victory.

The final whistle confirmed a 3-1 win for FC Poloboc, completing the double over JK Silvertown B after their earlier 2-1 success. The result kept the Moldovans in contention for a Cup qualification place and ensured their hopes of adding a fifth eurofootballfives title remained alive as they moved into second position. For JK Silvertown B, the defeat was a major setback, meaning Cup qualification was no longer mathematically possible. After taking the lead, they had been unable to contain FC Poloboc's response, they were battling bravely in such a high standard group.

FC Poloboc and World Pinteur met for the fourth time in what had become a fascinating rivalry between two closely matched sides. Their previous three encounters had produced a 1-1 draw, a 2-2 draw and a goalless stalemate in the reverse fixture earlier in the day, with World Pinteur yet to lead at any stage across those meetings. Now, with both teams level on seven points, the stakes could hardly have been higher. FC Poloboc held the advantage on goal difference, but the Cup qualification battle remained wide open. A draw would leave the contest unresolved until the final round of fixtures, while victory would give either side a significant advantage. For World Pinteur, the prospect was particularly appealing, with a theoretically easier fixture awaiting them in the final round. FC Poloboc, however, knew that a win of their own would put them in a commanding position and strengthen their hopes of adding another eurofootballfives title to their collection.

The opening stages carried all the tension expected from such an important fixture, with both teams aware that a single goal could have a major impact on their qualification prospects. It was FC Poloboc who finally broke the deadlock, as Leonid Cigureanu found the net to give the Moldovans a 1-0 lead. Cigureanu's strike was his third goal of the day, continuing his impressive contribution to the FC Poloboc attack and giving his team a crucial advantage in the race for the top two. World Pinteur had built much of their campaign around their defensive resilience, but they now faced the challenge of finding a response against opponents who had proved difficult to overcome in their previous meetings – but they had equalised on 3 separate occasions so all was not lost. FC Poloboc protected their lead through to half-time, reaching the interval 1-0 ahead and leaving World Pinteur needing to change the course of the contest after the restart.

FC Poloboc strengthened their position in the second half when Victor Gingota scored to make it 2-0. Gingota, who had already been among the goals earlier in the day, registered his fourth strike of the tournament and gave the Moldovans a valuable two-goal cushion in this crucial encounter. Having struggled to gain the upper hand in their previous meetings with FC Poloboc, World Pinteur now faced their toughest challenge yet against the Moldovan side. The second goal gave FC Poloboc a significant advantage in a match (and Group B generally) that could ultimately determine who secured a Cup place, while World Pinteur were left needing a response to keep themselves firmly in the qualification picture.

FC Mahou and FC Poloboc renewed their rivalry in a fixture that carried enormous significance for the final Group B standings but particularly for FC Poloboc. The latest meeting added another chapter to a series that had so far favoured the Moldovans, who had claimed two victories to FC Mahou's one. Crucially for the English side, that sole win had come earlier in the day, giving them confidence heading into this fixture. FC Mahou had already secured their place in the Cup, but they had the opportunity to make life difficult for their rivals and potentially prevent a team they could meet again in the Cup Final from joining them in the Cup competition. FC Poloboc, meanwhile, knew that a draw would be enough to secure qualification, but victory would bring an even greater reward: moving above FC Mahou to finish top of Group B. With the group honours and a Cup place at stake, there was plenty riding on this latest instalment of the rivalry.

FC Poloboc made a strong start and took the lead through Victor Gingota, who continued his prolific day by scoring his fifth goal of the tournament. It was an important breakthrough for the Moldovans, who now had their qualification hopes firmly in their own hands. FC Mahou, however, were not prepared to let their opponents take control without a fight (metaphorically, not literally). Gamada Yousuf, adding further evidence of his valuable addition to the FC Mahou ranks, scoring to bring the match level at 1-1 and registering his fourth goal of the day. His equaliser set up a tense contest, with FC Mahou looking to protect their position at the top and FC Poloboc needing to find another goal to turn a draw into the group-winning victory they desired. The match remained finely poised, but the Moldovans eventually found the decisive moment through Grigore Badea, who scored his second goal of the day to put FC Poloboc 2-1 ahead. This time, FC Mahou could not find another equaliser, and the Moldovans held on to claim a crucial victory.

The final whistle confirmed a 2-1 win for FC Poloboc, a result that secured both their Cup qualification and first place in Group B. Having entered the match knowing that a draw would be sufficient to progress, the Moldovans went one better by defeating FC Mahou and climbing above them in the final standings. Congratulations to both teams on reaching the Cup competition, where they will now have the opportunity to continue their pursuit of the tournament title.

JK Silvertown B and World Pinteur approached their final Group B fixture with contrasting motivations. JK Silvertown B were playing for pride after their Cup qualification hopes had disappeared, while World Pinteur still had an outside chance of reaching the Cup. The French side needed to win and hope FC Poloboc lost to FC Mahou, with the necessary swing in goal difference also required to go their way. With that decisive fixture taking place concurrently, World Pinteur knew their fate was partly out of their hands. If FC Poloboc could secure even a point, the result on this pitch would become academic. Nevertheless, both sides had an opportunity to finish their group campaign positively, with World Pinteur looking to rediscover the defensive solidity that had characterised their opening matches.

World Pinteur took the lead through Eric Lemoisson, but JK Silvertown B responded with an equaliser from their number 17. Lemoisson then struck again to put the French side 2-1 ahead, only for Silvertown B to draw level once more, this time through their number 23. The contest was developing into an entertaining end-to-end encounter, a striking contrast to World Pinteur's earlier fixtures. They had recorded three consecutive clean sheets at the start of the tournament and conceded just once across their first four matches, but their defensive record had changed dramatically, with five goals now conceded across their latest two games. Joey May then completed Silvertown B's turnaround by scoring to put the English side 3-2 in front, leaving World Pinteur facing the prospect of ending their campaign with another defeat. The French side were not finished, however, and goalkeeper Benoit Botteau made an impact at the opposite end by scoring from the penalty spot to bring the score to 3-3. The final whistle confirmed an entertaining draw, with both teams having contributed to a match that swung repeatedly between the sides.

In the end, the 3-3 result proved academic in the context of Cup qualification, as FC Poloboc secured the result they needed against FC Mahou to finish top of Group B, leaving World Pinteur unable to claim the final Cup place. Both World Pinteur and JK Silvertown B therefore had to settle for the Plate competition. For the French side, the late stages of the group had been frustrating after such a strong start, while Silvertown B could take encouragement from a spirited performance in which they twice recovered from behind and even moved into the lead. Although neither team achieved the outcome they might have hoped for, they had at least finished their group campaign with an entertaining contest and could now turn their attention to the Plate knockout stages.
