Group B's final round began with a meeting between AFC Blue Boys and APB FC, the two sides occupying fifth and sixth place in the table. Both teams knew this would be their final appearance of the tournament, with neither able to qualify for the knockout stages, so the focus was firmly on finishing with a victory and a little pride restored. There was still the matter of the final standings to settle, as a draw would see APB FC finish fifth thanks to their superior goal difference. With nothing to lose, both sides could play with freedom, and the result was an entertaining first half that produced four goals, leaving the teams locked at 2-2 at the interval. Robbie Carson and Diarmuid O'Malley found the net for APB FC, while Patryk Kutryn scored twice for AFC Blue Boys.

The standout moment of the match came courtesy of Carson, who produced a quite remarkable goal with a fantastic chip from his own half. It was a moment of real quality and imagination, and one that would be difficult to better during the day. Carson showed tremendous awareness and technique to spot the opportunity and execute it - Carson probably the only man capable of scoring such a goal in the APB FC squad . With the score level at half-time, there was still plenty to play for, and APB FC found the decisive breakthrough after the restart, scoring the winner to secure a hard-fought 3-2 victory.

It was a welcome reward for APB FC, who collected their first three points of the tournament and ensured they finished their campaign on a positive note. The victory also settled the battle for fifth place in their favour, with AFC Blue Boys left to reflect on a difficult group stage despite Kutryn's impressive brace in this final fixture. Results had not always gone the way either team would have hoped, but both sides brought commitment and character to the tournament and played the game in the right spirit. A big thank you to AFC Blue Boys and APB FC for joining us in Lloret de Mar; we hope both teams enjoyed their day and will take plenty of positive memories away from their tour weekend, regardless of the results.

The final match of Group B saw league leaders Colonel Getafe take on New Ham United, with both teams already assured of their place in the knockout stages but still with plenty to play for. Colonel Getafe needed just a draw to guarantee top spot, while defeat would see them slip into second place. New Ham United, meanwhile, required a victory to finish third, knowing that a draw or defeat would leave them in fourth. With the group standings still to be settled, Colonel Getafe were determined to complete their campaign with a perfect record and continued their impressive form in the first half. Oli Grossman proved the difference, scoring twice to give the leaders a commanding 2-0 advantage at the interval. Grossman's double took him to six goals for the tournament, underlining his importance to a side that had been outstanding throughout the group phase.

New Ham United needed a response after the break if they were to threaten a comeback and improve their final position, but Colonel Getafe remained firmly in control. Teddie Hanifan added a third goal to put the result beyond doubt, while goalkeeper Alex Staggs and his defence ensured there would be no consolation for their opponents, recording another clean sheet. It was a composed and professional second-half display from the group leaders, who showed no signs of easing off despite already having secured Cup qualification. New Ham United battled on, but they were unable to find a way through a defence that had proved difficult to breach all day.

The final whistle confirmed a 3-0 victory for Colonel Getafe, completing a remarkable Group B campaign with five wins from five matches and a perfect 15-point return. They had breezed into the Cup knockout stages as group winners, combining attacking quality with defensive resilience to establish themselves as one of the teams to beat in Lloret de Mar. For New Ham United, the defeat meant they finished fourth and would now turn their attention to the Plate competition. They had shown their potential with two early victories, but the closing fixtures had proved more challenging. They would need to regroup quickly and rediscover that winning form as the knockout stages began, with a fresh opportunity to make their mark still ahead of them.
