Bayern Bru and Abdi opened Group B in the 2026 Lisbon Fives with both sides making their tournament debuts, meaning there was little prior form to gauge either team's level heading into the fixture. It was Abdi who made the stronger early impression, quickly settling into their passing rhythm and showing greater cohesion in the opening exchanges as they began to take control of the match.

The Portuguese side's superiority soon translated into goals, with Flavio Oliveira opening the scoring before Bruno Pires doubled the advantage to put Abdi 2–0 ahead. Osvaldo Silva then added a third as Bayern Bru struggled to contain the movement and sharpness of their opponents, and Miguel Silva made it 4–0 as Abdi's attacking play continued to cut through the English side's defensive shape.

Bayern Bru did manage to respond through Josh Fox, who pulled a goal back to make it 4–1 and briefly offered his side a foothold in the contest. However, Abdi quickly reasserted control before half-time, with Hugo Marques restoring the four-goal lead at 5–1 to underline their dominance in a one-sided opening period. After the break, Bayern Bru showed improved resilience and were rewarded with a second goal from Refaya Davies, reducing the deficit to 5–2. Despite that consolation, Abdi had a substantial cushion and saw out the remainder of the match to secure a deserved 5–2 victory, making a strong statement on their Group B debut.

Zona M made a strong impression on their eurofootballfives.com debut with a dominant attacking display against Bayern Bru, who were playing their second match after an opening defeat. The match began in competitive fashion, with both sides looking to settle quickly, but it was Zona M who struck first as Fabio Arcanjo opened the scoring to give the newcomers an early advantage.

Bayern Bru responded well and briefly turned the game on its head through a quick double from Josh Fox, putting the English side 2–1 ahead and momentarily shifting momentum in their favour. However, Zona M quickly regained control of the contest, with Tigrao restoring parity at 2–2 before Pimo took centre stage, scoring twice to swing the game firmly back in favour of the debutants. Fabio Arcanjo then added his second to make it 5–2 at half-time, giving Zona M a commanding lead after a highly eventful opening period.

The second half saw Zona M take complete control of proceedings as Bayern Bru struggled to contain their attacking movement and intensity. Claudio Sanches extended the lead before Pimo completed his hat-trick and continued his outstanding performance with a fourth goal, underlining his influence on the match as the scoreline began to widen significantly. David Freire added the final goal to complete a comprehensive 9–2 victory, rounding off a dominant display from Zona M. After a competitive opening spell, they produced a relentless attacking performance to overwhelm Bayern Bru, who will now be looking to regroup quickly and improve their fortunes in the remaining group fixtures.

Abdi and PFC entered their second Group B fixtures both carrying momentum after convincing opening victories, making this one of the standout early contests in the group. With both teams looking to establish themselves at the top of the table, the game had the feel of an early Cup qualification decider, but it was PFC who immediately imposed themselves with an explosive start.

The Brazilian side flew out of the traps and quickly put Abdi under sustained pressure through sharp movement and clinical finishing. Ruben Pereira opened the scoring before Gerson Teixeira struck twice to give PFC a commanding 3–0 advantage by half-time. Abdi struggled to cope with the pace and intensity of the attacking play, while PFC looked increasingly dangerous every time they moved forward. To their credit, Abdi responded positively after the interval and reduced the deficit through Hugo Marques, who scored for the second consecutive game to make it 3–1 and briefly raise hopes of a comeback. The Portuguese side showed greater urgency and attacking intent in the early stages of the second half, trying to force their way back into the contest.

Any momentum Abdi had built was quickly halted, however, when Tiago Oliveira scored PFC's fourth goal to restore their three-goal cushion and effectively seal the result. From there, PFC controlled proceedings professionally to secure an impressive 4–1 victory, maintaining their perfect start and strengthening their position at the top of Group B as they sought to regain their title.

Barcesloana and Zona M met next in Group B with both sides looking to build on very different opening results. Barcesloana were aiming to recover from a 5-0 defeat to PFC and knew a win could move them into the Plate qualification places, while Zona M arrived full of confidence after an impressive 9–2 victory over Bayern Bru and with the opportunity to join PFC at the top of the table.

Zona M continued their strong attacking form from the outset and took the lead through Tigrao, whose goal rewarded another confident start from the Portuguese side. They extended their advantage through David Freire to make it 2–0, threatening to pull away once again with their sharp movement and direct attacking play. However, Barcesloana responded well before the break, with Joe Chamberlain pulling a goal back to reduce the deficit to 2–1 and keep the contest alive at half-time.

The second half saw Zona M regain control as their attacking quality once again proved decisive. Pimo, who had already scored four times in the opening game, continued his outstanding form by adding two more goals to stretch the lead to 4–1 and effectively put the result beyond doubt. His movement and finishing caused constant problems for the Barcesloana defence throughout the second period. Claudio Sanches then added the final goal to complete an emphatic 5–1 victory for Zona M, maintaining their perfect start to the tournament and moving them level at the top of Group B. For Barcesloana, there were moments of encouragement in the first half, but they were ultimately unable to contain another powerful attacking display from one of the form teams in the competition.
