Key Events:

• 38', and Gilbert Bernard added a third in the 44th minute, with Kai Ng providing the assist. The second half saw Kai Ng score in the 53rd minute, sealing the victory, while Andres Rodriguez received a late yellow card, perhaps a sign of frustration more than anything else. Keybridge Albion’s attacking efforts were minimal, with no shots on target and a mere 0.01 xG, highlighting their inability to threaten the hosts’ goal

Tactically, Newort City’s approach was pragmatic; they pressed well enough to regain possession 45% of the time and created a series of promising chances, reflected in their 10 shots on target. Their passing was accurate enough at 82%, and their ability to convert set pieces with five corners contributed to the scoreboard. Keybridge Albion’s strategy of dribbling and maintaining possession was rendered ineffective by their failure to produce any shots or shots on target, and their 21 dribbles suggest they were more interested in ball retention than penetration. The game’s outcome was a fair reflection of the balance of play, with Newort City capitalizing on their opportunities and the visitors’ defensive lapses.
