The opening game of Group C saw The Vic FC take on Wentworth Arms A in a rematch of the 2025 Amsterdam Fives Plate Semi-Final. On that occasion, Wentworth Arms had emerged victorious with a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Liam O'Connell and Mike Wright. They arrived in Mallorca hoping to continue that positive record. Both teams would have been eager to make a strong start to the tournament, knowing how important early momentum can be in setting the tone.

Wentworth Arms A settled into the contest well and gradually began to take control of proceedings. Their attacking play carried a real threat, and it was Phil King who made the breakthrough in the first half. His goal gave Wentworth Arms the advantage and ensured they went into the break with a 1-0 lead. The Vic FC worked hard to remain in the contest and defended resolutely at times, but they struggled to create enough clear-cut opportunities against an organised Wentworth Arms side.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Wentworth Arms continuing to look dangerous going forward. Phil King once again proved the difference-maker as he added his second goal of the match to extend the lead to 2-0. From there, Wentworth Arms managed the game effectively, keeping possession well and limiting opportunities for The Vic FC to mount a comeback. Their defensive discipline ensured there would be no route back into the game for their opponents.

Wentworth Arms A completed a solid 2-0 victory to begin their Group C campaign in ideal fashion. A clean sheet and two goals represented an excellent opening performance and immediately placed them among the early pace-setters in the group. For The Vic FC, there was disappointment with the result, but with plenty of football still to come in the group stage, they would have opportunities to respond and get their campaign back on track.

Game 3 of Group C introduced Morocco Team to the eurofootballfives circuit as the debutants took on The Vic FC. The English side had already begun their campaign with a difficult opening fixture against Wentworth Arms A, suffering a 2-0 defeat, so they arrived determined to respond quickly and get points on the board. For Morocco Team, meanwhile, this was their very first taste of tournament football in Mallorca, and there was plenty of anticipation surrounding how they would perform on debut.

The opening half proved to be a competitive and closely fought affair, with both teams showing discipline at the back and working hard to gain control in midfield. Chances were limited during the early exchanges, but The Vic FC gradually began to settle into the game and looked the more threatening side going forward. Their breakthrough eventually arrived through Ross McGuigan, who had the honour of scoring The Vic FC's first goal of the 2026 Mallorca Fives tournament. His strike gave the English side a valuable 1-0 advantage heading into the half-time interval.

In the second half, Morocco Team pushed hard in search of an equaliser and showed plenty of determination in their first appearance at the tournament. The Vic FC, however, defended resolutely and managed the game well, limiting clear opportunities for their opponents. Both goalkeepers and defensive units performed strongly after the break, resulting in a tense but goalless second half. While Morocco Team continued to battle until the final whistle, they could not find the breakthrough they needed.

At full-time, The Vic FC secured a hard-earned 1-0 victory and picked up their first points of the tournament. The clean sheet and disciplined performance represented an ideal response after their opening defeat, moving them firmly back into contention in Group C. For Morocco Team, despite the disappointment of defeat on debut, there were encouraging signs to build upon, particularly in a match that remained competitive throughout.

Game 4 of Group C brought together two early winners as Wentworth Arms A faced Ecuador 100% in what already looked like it could be a pivotal clash in the race for top spot. At the 2024 Mallorca Fives, Ecuador 100% had dismantled Wentworth Arms B by an 8-0 scoreline, but this Wentworth Arms A side had begun the 2026 edition in impressive fashion with a 2-0 victory over The Vic FC. Ecuador 100%, meanwhile, had shown their attacking quality immediately with a 5-1 win over Sheffield Thursday Navy. With both sides entering the match full of confidence, there was a real sense that this contest could shape the outcome of Group C.

The opening stages were lively and entertaining, with Ecuador 100% striking first through Xeiron Sanchez. Wentworth Arms A responded well and quickly found themselves back on level terms thanks to the in-form Phil King, whose third goal in two games continued his excellent start to the tournament. The match remained finely balanced for a period, but Ecuador's attacking quality soon began to tell. Ivan Lee restored their advantage before Jose Mosquera added another goal to continue his own fine scoring run. By the time the half-time whistle arrived, Ecuador 100% had established a commanding 3-1 lead.

If Wentworth Arms A had hopes of mounting a comeback after the break, Ecuador 100% quickly extinguished them. Xeiron Sanchez added another goal to further extend the lead before Estiven Lastra took centre stage in front of goal. Having already scored earlier in the tournament, Lastra now exploded into life with a superb hat-trick as Ecuador's relentless attacking football overwhelmed the English side. Their movement, pace and clinical finishing proved too much to contain as the scoreline stretched further and further away from Wentworth Arms A.

At full-time, Ecuador 100% emerged as emphatic 7-1 winners and moved to the top of the Group C standings. Two matches had produced 12 goals for the Ecuadorians, underlining once again why they are regarded as the most decorated side in Mallorca Fives history. For Wentworth Arms A, the result was a heavy setback after such a positive opening performance, but with more games still to come, they remained very much in contention for qualification heading into the second half of the group stage.

Game 5 of Group C saw Sheffield Thursday Navy take on Morocco Team in a contest between two sides still searching for their first points of the tournament. Sheffield Thursday Navy had opened with a difficult assignment against tournament heavyweights Ecuador 100%, while Morocco Team had produced a spirited performance despite narrowly losing 1-0 to The Vic FC on debut. With plenty of football still left to play in the group stage, both teams knew this fixture represented an important opportunity to kickstart their campaigns and build momentum heading into the latter stages.

The first half proved to be a fiercely competitive encounter, with neither side willing to give an inch. Morocco Team showed impressive organisation and energy, while Sheffield Thursday Navy worked hard to impose themselves physically on the game. Chances were limited as both defences remained disciplined and compact throughout the opening period. As the half-time whistle sounded, the teams remained locked at 0-0, a fair reflection of an evenly balanced and hard-fought first half.

The intensity only increased after the break, and the contest eventually boiled over as both teams were reduced to four men following a red card apiece. Despite the dismissals, the game finally sprang into life in front of goal. Morocco Team struck first through Osama, whose finish gave the debutants hope of claiming a memorable first victory in the competition. Sheffield Thursday Navy refused to fold, however, and they battled their way back into the game through Sam Morris, whose equaliser ensured the English side would not leave empty-handed.

At full-time, the sides shared the points following a 1-1 draw, with both teams registering their first points of the 2026 Mallorca Fives tournament. While neither side could quite find the winning goal, both showed resilience, determination and defensive grit in what was one of the most physical encounters of Group C so far. The result kept qualification hopes alive for both teams as they prepared for the decisive final rounds of group fixtures.
