Leynils City

Luca Colombo (8.1) - Scored twice and assisted Mark Collins for the opening goal, giving him a hand in three of the five.
Levani Guseinova (7.3) - Scored twice, including Leynils City’s second and third goals, and also received a yellow card.

The early goal gave Leynils City a lead after two minutes; by half-time they had scored three, and Luca Colombo added the fourth four minutes after the restart. His second, on 63 minutes, completed the scoring. Sheffham did not lack the ball or pass it particularly poorly, but the match was decided by what each side did with its opportunities. A five-goal margin can make a game look simple in retrospect. The shot count suggests the visitors had been making their case for quite some time.
