The visitors’ 17 shots, of which eight were on target, starkly contrasted with the hosts’ two attempts, highlighting the visitors’ offensive dominance. The game’s turning point came just before halftime when Seungwoo Jeong scored for Worees Athletic, assisted by Philippe Robert, giving the hosts a brief lead.

The game’s outcome was a testament to the importance of converting chances rather than merely controlling possession.

In conclusion, Calventon Town deserved their victory, demonstrating tactical discipline and clinical finishing.
