The opening game in Group B saw Sheffield Thursday Blue take on Eltham International in a meeting between two teams who had both debuted at the 2024 edition of the Mallorca Fives. Although they had not crossed paths in Mallorca twelve months earlier, they did meet last year at the 2025 Porto Tournament where Sheffield Thursday emerged with a 2-0 victory. That result gave Sheffield Thursday the psychological edge coming into this encounter, but Eltham International arrived determined to gain revenge on Mallorcan soil and begin their campaign in strong fashion.

It was Eltham International who made the sharper start and quickly showed their attacking intent. Stefano Chagas, who had finished as the top scorer at the 2025 Porto Tournament with an impressive eight goals, wasted little time in continuing his prolific form. He opened the scoring to hand Eltham International an early advantage and remained the focal point of their attacking play throughout the first half. Before the interval, Chagas struck again to double both his personal tally and his team's lead, giving Eltham International a commanding 2-0 advantage at half-time.

Sheffield Thursday Blue responded positively after the break and showed the resilience that had served them well in previous tournaments. Joe Morris reduced the deficit to 2-1 and suddenly gave the English side renewed hope of mounting a comeback. For a spell, the momentum appeared to swing in Sheffield Thursday Blue's favour as they searched for an equaliser. However, Eltham International continued to look dangerous on the counterattack, particularly through the clinical finishing of Stefano Chagas.

Any hopes of a Sheffield Thursday Blue recovery were ended when Chagas completed an excellent hat-trick to restore Eltham International's two-goal cushion. The final whistle confirmed a 3-1 victory for Eltham International and an ideal start to their Group B campaign. Chagas immediately threw his name into the race for the tournament golden boot once again, while Eltham International gained early momentum in the battle for Cup qualification. Sheffield Thursday Blue, meanwhile, would look to regroup quickly with plenty of football still left to play in the group stage.

The third game in Group B took place on Pitch D as Wentworth Arms B began their tournament against Sheffield Thursday Blue. Wentworth Arms B were finally getting their campaign underway and had been eagerly awaiting their first opportunity to take to the field. Sheffield Thursday Blue, meanwhile, already had one game behind them after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Eltham International earlier in the day. The two teams had previous history at the Mallorca Fives, having played out a competitive 1-1 draw in the 2024 edition of the tournament. This time, however, the contest would unfold very differently.

From the opening whistle, Sheffield Thursday Blue played with real intensity and quickly seized control of the match. Daniel Easton opened the scoring to settle the side before Jack Hayes doubled the advantage with a confident finish. Wentworth Arms B struggled to contain the attacking movement of their opponents, and before the interval Joe Morris continued his excellent personal form by scoring for the second consecutive game to make it 3-0 at half-time. Sheffield Thursday Blue had been clinical in front of goal and fully deserved their commanding lead.

Wentworth Arms B attempted to mount a response after the break and briefly gave themselves hope when Mike Wright reduced the deficit to 3-1 early in the second half. For a short spell the game became more competitive as Wentworth Arms pushed forward in search of another goal. However, Sheffield Thursday Blue quickly extinguished any hopes of a comeback. Daniel Easton restored the three-goal cushion at 4-1 before completing an impressive hat-trick to make it 5-1. Jack Hayes then added his second goal of the game to round off an emphatic 6-1 victory.

At the final whistle, Sheffield Thursday Blue celebrated a superb attacking display that lifted them onto three points and into a three-way tie at the top of Group B. After the disappointment of their opening defeat, this was exactly the type of response they would have wanted. For Wentworth Arms B, meanwhile, it was a difficult introduction to the tournament, but with several group games still remaining there would still be plenty of opportunities to bounce back and fight their way into qualification contention.

Group B action continued with an intriguing clash between Eltham International of England and Spain's Arenal. Eltham International had made an excellent start to the tournament with victory in their opening fixture and arrived in Mallorca carrying confidence from their success at the 2025 Porto Tournament, where they lifted the Plate trophy. Arenal, meanwhile, had also impressed in their first outing, edging past the spirited Riises Pieces by a single goal. With both teams entering the match unbeaten, this quickly took on the feel of an early top-of-the-table showdown that could have a major impact on the race to win Group B.

The first half saw Arenal continue the disciplined and effective football they had shown in their opener. Defensively they remained solid, while going forward they carried a constant threat. Their pressure paid off when Fran Ruvuelta opened the scoring to hand the Spanish side a deserved lead. Eltham International attempted to respond, but Arenal continued to control the key moments of the match. Before the interval, Santi Soler doubled the advantage to give the Spaniards a commanding 2-0 lead at half-time.

Eltham International searched for a route back into the game during the second half, but Arenal's organisation and composure remained impressive throughout. The Spanish side continued to look dangerous whenever they moved forward and effectively shut down the attacking threat posed by the English team. Any lingering hopes of an Eltham comeback disappeared when Jose Gonzalez added a third goal to complete an outstanding all-round performance from Arenal.

At the final whistle, Arenal celebrated a superb 3-0 victory that maintained their perfect start to the tournament. Having followed up a 1-0 win with a 3-0 success, the Spanish side had now scored four goals without conceding and firmly established themselves as one of the early teams to watch in Mallorca. For Eltham International, the defeat represented a setback after their encouraging opening victory, but with several matches still to play they remained well positioned in the Group B standings and very much in contention for qualification.

The final game before the halfway stage of Group B saw Riises Pieces take on Wentworth Arms B on Pitch B. Riises Pieces had produced a solid display in their opening fixture but came away empty-handed after a narrow 1-0 defeat to current group leaders Arenal. Wentworth Arms B, meanwhile, endured a difficult start to the tournament after suffering a heavy 6-1 loss against Sheffield Thursday Blue. For both sides, this fixture represented an important opportunity to bounce back from opening disappointment and reignite their ambitions at the 2026 Mallorca Fives.

It was Riises Pieces who settled into the contest quickest and began to dictate the flow of the game. The standout player of the opening half was Dan Willoughby, who proved clinical in front of goal. He opened the scoring to give the English side an early advantage and then struck again before the break to double the lead. Wentworth Arms B struggled to contain the attacking movement of their opponents, and at half-time Riises Pieces held a deserved 2-0 lead.

The second half saw Riises Pieces continue their impressive performance and build further momentum. Sam Thomas extended the advantage to 3-0 as the pressure on Wentworth Arms B intensified. Liam O'Doherty then opened his personal account for the tournament with another well-taken goal before Harry Bedford completed the scoring to cap a dominant display. Riises Pieces looked sharp throughout the second period and fully deserved their comprehensive 5-0 victory.

At the final whistle, Riises Pieces celebrated an emphatic response to their opening defeat and moved themselves right back into the qualification picture. The victory lifted them into a share of second place in the Group B standings, occupying that position on goal difference and giving them plenty of confidence heading into the remaining fixtures. For Wentworth Arms B, meanwhile, it was another disappointing result, leaving them searching for answers as the group stage approached its decisive phase.
