William Powell opened the scoring in the 7th minute, assisted by Renato Guimarães, setting the tone for what was to come. The visitors’ only shot on target came in the 33rd minute, when Adilson Lima received a yellow card, but their defensive organization was repeatedly breached. Sancar’s second goal arrived shortly after, with Branko Ivanović scoring in the 36th minute following a fine pass from Anibal Suarez. The hosts’ attacking trio, led by Suarez, was relentless, with Suarez himself netting twice—once in the 57th minute, assisted by Adil Nedić, and again in the 62nd minute—highlighting his importance to the team’s fluidity. The game was effectively sealed in the 75th minute when Nedić scored, assisted by Suarez, capping a dominant display that saw Sancar outshoot and outclass their opponents comprehensively.

Tactically, Sancar’s high possession and pass accuracy (86%) allowed them to dictate play, while their 4 corners kept pressure on Bridgeldham’s defensive line. The visitors’ 10 fouls and 17 saves reflect their defensive efforts, but the disparity in quality was clear. The xG figures reinforce this, with Sancar’s 4.44 significantly exceeding their actual goals, indicating clinical finishing rather than luck. Bridgeldham’s 0.26 xG underscores their offensive impotence, with only a single shot on target. The game’s outcome was a testament to Sancar’s attacking prowess and disciplined defending, with their star players shining brightest.
