For Thoe Rangers, Nilson Pires’ goal at 40' briefly interrupted a first-half pattern in which Colsal City had already scored twice. The reply arrived one minute after Michael Meyer was booked, and gave the hosts something tangible to take into the break, if not quite enough to make the afternoon comfortable. Bruno Rossi restored the visitors’ two-goal advantage four minutes after half-time, and further goals from Xinping Boon and Vladimir štimac settled the matter with a clear margin.

The numbers leave little room for the idea that Thoe Rangers were simply unlucky: four shots on target is a respectable return from six attempts, but the visitors produced more than twice as many efforts on target as the hosts managed in total. Colsal City also had the better xG by 3.45, with their five goals reflecting a sustained advantage in dangerous chances. The teams shared possession and finished with similar pass accuracy, yet the same amount of the ball served very different purposes. Colsal City turned it into pressure and a 1-5 win; Thoe Rangers had to make do with the goal that kept the scoreline from being even more lopsided.
