Cherigh Town’s opening goal arrived early, with Lindomar Da Silva finding the net in the tenth minute, assisted by Pedro Guzman. This set the tone for a first-half display that saw the hosts dominate possession and create multiple opportunities. Derek Stewart doubled the lead in the 17th minute, again linking up with Da Silva, who was influential throughout. The visitors responded with a solitary goal from Nilson Pires in the 57th minute, assisted by Michel Lemoine, but their efforts were hampered by a yellow card to Lemoine earlier and a late booking for Phillip Lewis. Cherigh Town’s third came from Norbert Fischer just before the break, sealing the game and leaving Regisham with a mountain to climb.

Tactically, Cherigh Town’s high pass accuracy (86%) and effective dribbling (13 attempts) allowed them to control the tempo, despite a relatively modest xG of 2.39. They outperformed their expected goals slightly, indicating a degree of clinical finishing. Regisham’s xG of 1.92 suggests they were in the game, but their inability to convert more of their chances, coupled with their disciplinary record—three yellow cards—hampered their efforts. The game was a testament to Cherigh Town’s efficiency and resilience, while Regisham’s discipline and defensive lapses ultimately cost them.

Regisham United lacked a player who could elevate their performance above the rest, with no one reaching the 7.0+ mark. Their best efforts were marred by discipline issues and a defensive structure that occasionally cracked under pressure.
