The third goal came in the 67th minute, sealing the game and deflating Albion further. The final two goals, scored by Xinping Boon at 86 and an unassisted strike from an unnamed Bingham Orient player at 81', cemented the rout.

The xG figures tell the story: Orient's 3.88 vastly outperformed their actual goals, indicating clinical finishing, while Albion's 0.71 reflected their struggle to threaten the goal meaningfully. The game was a reminder that in football, quality often trumps quantity, and Bingham Orient's efficiency was the key to their emphatic victory.
