The visitors' attacking rhythm was relentless, with Moussa M'bra doubling the lead in the seventh minute, assisted by Philippe Guillaume.

The scoring spree continued with Beganović netting his second in the 39th minute, again assisted by Guillaume. The hosts, meanwhile, were unable to threaten the Crow Athletic goal, managing just a single shot on target and a solitary corner, while their defensive line was repeatedly breached. The game’s tactical narrative was clear: Crow Athletic’s attack was fluid and incisive, while Aycottowbury looked increasingly resigned as the goals piled up.

In the second half, the visitors maintained their dominance, adding a fifth through Ricardo Diaz in the 47th minute, assisted by Edgard Avila. The game saw a few disciplinary issues, with Aycottowbury’s Xinping Boon and Saliou Sow receiving yellow cards, along with Crow Athletic’s Philippe Guillaume and Alfredo Delgado. Despite the yellow cards, Crow Athletic’s control was unchallenged, and their defensive effort kept Aycottowbury at bay, with the hosts registering only 1 shot and 1 on target throughout. The visitors’ passing was efficient, with a pass accuracy of 78%, and their relentless pressing and tackling kept the home side under constant pressure. The final goal came in the 47th minute, sealing a comprehensive victory that reflected their dominance in both possession and chance creation.
