Group A continued with a huge clash at the top of the table as Portugal's RAF faced Ireland's Deportivo Dooradoyle in a meeting between the group's top two sides. RAF arrived with a perfect record after winning both of their opening games, giving them a two-point advantage at the summit. Deportivo Dooradoyle, meanwhile, were unbeaten after taking four points from their first two matches and knew a victory here would completely transform the complexion of the group. With Portugal versus Ireland on the schedule, the stage was set for a fascinating encounter.

It was the Irish side who exploded out of the blocks with a superb opening spell. Ciarán McMahon opened the scoring to hand Deportivo Dooradoyle an early advantage, and they continued to pour forward with confidence. Patrick O'Brien maintained his fine tournament form by doubling the lead with his second goal of the competition before Keith Lynch capped a brilliant first-half display by making it 3-0. RAF were stunned but not beaten, and Pedro Neves gave the Portuguese side a lifeline before the break with his second goal of the tournament to reduce the deficit to 3-1 at half-time.

RAF carried that momentum into the second period and quickly made the contest even tighter. Rafael Jeronimo opened his personal account for the tournament with a crucial strike that brought the score back to 3-2 and completely changed the atmosphere of the match. Suddenly all three results looked possible as RAF pushed hard for an equaliser while Deportivo Dooradoyle attempted to steady themselves after surrendering control. The game remained finely balanced deep into the closing stages until Sean O'Donnell struck to restore the Irish side's two-goal cushion and finally put the result beyond doubt.

At the final whistle, Deportivo Dooradoyle celebrated a sensational 4-2 victory that saw them leapfrog RAF into top spot in Group A. With seven points from their opening three games, the Irish side had placed themselves firmly in pole position for Cup qualification and sent a strong message to the rest of the tournament. RAF, despite suffering their first defeat of the day, remained well placed in the standings and would still fancy their chances of progressing.

Game 8 of Group A saw Inter Campos take on leaders Deportivo Dooradoyle in a hugely significant contest at the top end of the standings. After losing their opening fixture against RAF, the Spanish debutants had responded in spectacular fashion with an emphatic 8-0 victory over Old Salesians, putting themselves firmly back into the qualification picture. Deportivo Dooradoyle, meanwhile, were unbeaten with seven points from a possible nine and had taken over at the summit after defeating RAF in their previous match. With this being the Irish side's final group fixture, the stakes were clear — victory would secure the Group A title, while anything less would leave the door wide open for their rivals.

The game exploded into life almost immediately, continuing the recent trend of goals flowing freely in Group A (previous match excepted). Inter Campos looked full of confidence after their previous performance and quickly established control going forward. Although Kevin Shine scored his third goal of the tournament for Deportivo Dooradoyle, the Spanish side simply outgunned their opponents in a breathless first half. Ismael Macundo Ballester scored his second goal of the day, Samuel Pinoj Guisado put Inter Campos ahead, and another strike before the break gave the Spanish side a commanding 3-1 advantage at half-time.

If the first half had been entertaining, the second half was even more devastating from an Inter Campos perspective. Samuel Pinoj Guisado continued his outstanding display by scoring twice more to complete a superb hat-trick performance as the Spanish side tore through the Irish defence. Inter Campos were now in extraordinary goalscoring form, having scored eight in their previous game and six more here. Ivan Cañas Vilalobos added another to cap a brilliant attacking performance. Deportivo Dooradoyle did manage another goal through Mike Kelleher, who scored for the second time in the tournament, but it proved little more than a consolation as Inter Campos powered to an impressive 6-2 victory.

Despite the defeat, Deportivo Dooradoyle remained top of Group A at the end of the match, although their advantage had been cut to just a single point. With RAF and now Inter Campos breathing firmly down their necks, the race for Cup qualification was set up perfectly heading into the final round of fixtures. For Inter Campos, meanwhile, back-to-back high-scoring victories had transformed their campaign completely and established them as one of the most dangerous attacking sides in the tournament.

The penultimate match of Group A saw Portugal's RAF face England's Old Salesians in a contest with significant implications at both ends of the table. RAF came into the game sitting third, level on six points with Inter Campos and only one point behind leaders Deportivo Dooradoyle. Victory here would guarantee Cup qualification, while even a draw would likely leave them well placed to progress as one of the best third-placed teams. Old Salesians, meanwhile, occupied fourth place on two points and were realistically destined for the Plate competition regardless of the outcome, although a win could still improve their final position and potentially hand them a more favourable knockout draw.

The game was a relatively relaxed affair despite the importance of the result. RAF were more casual without the intensity of their usual attacking intent, but Old Salesians looked organised and disciplined at the back. The breakthrough eventually arrived through Finlay Turner, whose first goal of the tournament gave the English side a precious lead. With chances otherwise limited, Turner's strike separated the teams at the interval as Old Salesians went into half-time 1-0 ahead.

The second half, however, belonged almost entirely to Old Salesians and particularly to George Walker. Having already shown glimpses of his quality earlier in the day, Walker now exploded into life with a devastating hat-trick display. His goals transformed a narrow advantage into a commanding 4-0 lead as RAF struggled to recover from the setback. Old Salesians continued to play with confidence and energy throughout the second period, while RAF failed to score for the first time in the tournament and could find no route back into the game.

At full-time, Old Salesians celebrated an emphatic 4-0 victory that provided a huge boost heading into the Plate competition. Despite finishing fourth in the group, they had actually lost only one match all day and would take considerable confidence from this performance. For RAF, meanwhile, defeat left qualification hanging in the balance as they waited nervously to discover whether their earlier results would be enough to send them into the Cup or the Plate competition.

The final match of Group A saw Sutton on Tour take on the in-form Inter Campos in a game that would decide who finished top of the table. Sutton on Tour came into the fixture having just picked up their first point of the day in a goalless draw against Old Salesians. They already knew they would finish fifth regardless of the outcome, with Old Salesians now out of reach in fourth place, but this was still an important opportunity to build confidence heading into the knockout phase. Inter Campos, meanwhile, had become one of the tournament's hottest teams after recovering from an opening defeat to RAF with stunning 8-0 and 6-2 victories, the latter coming against previous leaders Deportivo Dooradoyle. Victory here would guarantee them the Group A title, while even a draw would likely be enough due to their superior goal difference.

Despite the apparent gulf in form, Sutton on Tour produced an excellent opening half and made life difficult for their Spanish opponents. The game burst into life with five goals in a thrilling first period. Inter Campos edged ahead 3-2 at the interval, but Sutton on Tour fully played their part in the spectacle. Ismael Nfenif Angel continued his fine goalscoring form for Inter Campos, while Oriel Tejada Ladamate struck twice to give the Spanish side the advantage. Sutton on Tour responded impressively through Finn Bosier, who continued an excellent debut European campaign by scoring twice in the first half to take his tally to three goals and become his side's leading scorer.

The second half, however, followed the expected script as Inter Campos gradually asserted their authority and attacking quality. Ivan Cañas Vilaladas extended the lead to 4-2 before Samuel Pinoj Guisado added another as the Spanish side's confidence continued to grow. Borja Carrión Lliteras then got in on the act with his first goal of the competition to make it 6-2. There was still time for Oriel Tejada Ladamate to complete his hat-trick, remarkably his second treble of the tournament, as Inter Campos capped another devastating attacking performance with a seventh goal.

At the final whistle, Inter Campos celebrated a comprehensive 7-2 victory that secured them the Group A title in emphatic fashion. After losing their opening match, the Spanish debutants had responded with three consecutive victories and an incredible 21 goals scored across those games. They would now head into the knockout stages as one of the teams to watch in Mallorca. Sutton on Tour, meanwhile, showed plenty of spirit throughout the contest despite the defeat and would now turn their attention towards the Plate competition looking to finish the tournament strongly.
