The second half saw the floodgates open further, with Zoran Hamzić adding a fifth in the 49th minute, and Weber completing his hat-trick in the 52nd. The visitors’ defensive frailties were exposed repeatedly, and the game was effectively over by the 74th minute when Eladio Aranda scored, assisted by Hunt. The match concluded with a yellow card for Gerry Martin in the 89th minute, capping a day of frustration for Crow City.

Tactically, Crewsburn’s high pressing and precise passing—evident in their 84% pass accuracy—allowed them to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities, reflected in their 17 shots on target from 21 attempts. Conversely, Crow City’s strategy appeared to be to hold shape and hope for a miracle, but their 0 shots and a mere 0.01 xG underline their inability to threaten the hosts at any point. The expected goals metric confirms the disparity: Crewsburn’s 4.69 xG versus Crow City’s negligible 0.01. This suggests that Crewsburn’s finishing was slightly better than their usual standards, but their overall control and tactical discipline were the real story. Crow City’s defensive lapses, combined with their inability to mount any meaningful attack, made this a game to forget for their supporters.

For Crow City, no player reached the 7.0 mark, with their best efforts overshadowed by a lack of attacking intent and defensive lapses.
