41' - Papa Diallo of Nestele Wanderers received a yellow card, as did Isamu Ito of Rughby-on, in a fiery start to the game. 54' - Simon Martinez put Nestele Wanderers ahead with a composed finish, capitalizing on a rare attack, despite an expected goals (xG) of just 1 for the home side. 71' - Robson Dias was booked for Nestele Wanderers, reflecting the physicality of the contest. 78' - Oscar Salas doubled the lead for Nestele Wanderers, with a clinical strike, though the xG for this chance was around 0.4, indicating a somewhat fortunate finish. 82' - Eduardo Dominguez of Rughby-on received a yellow card, and four minutes later, he scored a dramatic late goal with Joseph Rocha providing the assist, converting an xG of approximately 0.8. 84' - The visitors pushed forward in search of an equalizer, but the Nestele Wanderers defense held firm, securing the three points.
Despite Rughby-on creating more dangerous opportunities with an xG of 2.32 compared to Nestele Wanderers' 1, the hosts' clinical finishing made the difference. The visitors' high xG suggests they were unlucky not to convert more, but the home side's resilience and opportunism secured their victory.
