The game was largely played in Wolde United's half in terms of possession, but the visitors' attempts to threaten the goal were few and far between. Wolde's goal in the fourth minute by Frank Martens set the tone, and the hosts continued to press, with Saer Diao doubling the lead just before halftime, assisted by Kyle Brown. Despite a yellow card for Saer Diao, Wolde United maintained their momentum after the break, with Klaus Rudolph and Frank Martens adding further goals. Rottle's defensive resilience was lacking, and their attack was stifled by Wolde's disciplined backline, which kept the visitors at bay and limited their shots on target.

While Wolde United's xG of 2.4 suggests they were slightly fortunate to score four times, their conversion rate was impressive, and their attacking players showed clinical finishing. Rottle United's 0.51 xG underlines their struggles in front of goal, with only two shots on target. The tactical battle was largely decided by Wolde's ability to turn possession into goals, and their disciplined approach paid dividends. Rottle's inability to capitalize on their corners and their failure to threaten the Wolde goal consistently left them chasing shadows for most of the match.

No Rottle United player reached the 7.0 rating threshold, reflecting their struggles in attack and overall influence on the game.
