Greece beat Spain 3-1 in the Mediterranean Games on 24 August 2026 at 13:00. The result leaves the hosts second on nine points and moves Spain further back to third on six.
By then Greece had already won three of four, with this victory confirming their place near the top. They sit one point ahead of the leaders, though the gap could shift depending on other results.
Spain's position tells a different story. Two wins and two losses from four games puts them in third place, and the defeat in Greece adds to their concerns. They now trail the Greek side by three points in the table.
Before this match Greece had been in steady form. They beat Kosovo 3-0 on 20 August, followed by wins over Luxembourg and Austria, then a clean sheet against North Macedonia and Iceland in June.
Spain's recent run offered less consistency. They beat Kosovo and Egypt 3-0 in late August, but the loss to Czech Republic 1-3 and the defeat to Romania 2-3 earlier in June showed vulnerability.
The three-point gap is not insurmountable, but for Spain the arithmetic is tightening. Greece hold the advantage on both points and goal difference, and the hosts will be looking to close out the tournament.
