Steven Martin doubled the lead in the 33rd minute, assisted by Walter Nielsen, who then contributed to the third goal just three minutes later. The hosts maintained their dominance, adding two more goals late in the game through Paul Hansen in the 86th minute and an unassisted strike in stoppage time. Despite some disciplinary issues, with a couple of yellow cards, Newpore United’s attacking efficiency was the story of the day, and Tawlewcar’s defensive lapses proved costly.

Tactically, Newpore United’s expected goals (xG) of 3.99 suggest they were slightly fortunate to net five times, but their high shot count (17 shots, 15 on target) indicates they created numerous high-quality chances. Tawlewcar’s xG of 1.46 underlines their struggles in front of goal, with only five shots on target. The hosts' ability to generate consistent pressure and convert more of their chances than the xG would suggest was the key to their victory. Defensively, Newpore United’s disciplined pressing and Tawlewcar’s inability to capitalize on their limited opportunities made the difference.

The match was a testament to Newpore United’s attacking efficiency and tactical discipline, while Tawlewcar’s inability to convert their limited chances ultimately cost them dearly. The hosts’ clinical finishing and solid defensive organization ensured they secured a comprehensive victory, setting a confident tone for their upcoming fixtures in Division 8 League 22.
