From the outset, Rottlash Vale set the tone with a quick double strike inside the first ten minutes. Weijie Hong opened the scoring at 4' with a well-placed finish, assisted by Luis Pinto, and doubled the lead at 10' thanks to a clever assist from Friedrich Unger. The visitors’ early dominance was reflected in their 52% possession and a commanding 13 shots on target, compared to Teigh’s five. The hosts attempted to respond, but their efforts were hampered by a lack of precision and a high foul count, which disrupted their rhythm. Rottlash’s tactical discipline was evident in their ability to maintain pressure, as seen in their 8 corners and the consistent threat from their front line, especially Hong. The game’s turning point came when Hong completed his hat-trick at 57', sealing the visitors’ advantage and putting the game beyond doubt. Teigh’s lone reply came through Pedro Chagas at 73', assisted by Jorge Alvez, but it was too little, too late. Rottlash’s control in midfield and their ability to convert chances made the difference, despite Teigh’s valiant attempts to rally.

Statistically, the match leaned heavily in favour of Rottlash Vale, who outshot their opponents 14 to 7 and registered an expected goals (xG) of 3.39 against Teigh’s 1.49. The visitors’ clinical finishing was underlined by their high shot accuracy, with 13 on target from 14 attempts, whereas Teigh struggled to find the net with only five shots on target. Rottlash’s disciplined defending, evidenced by their 12 tackles and 7 saves, kept Teigh at bay, even as the home side pressed forward. The game also saw a fair share of cards, with two yellow cards handed out to Rottlash players and one to Teigh’s Jorge Alvez, who was cautioned at 86'. The match’s physicality was evident, but Rottlash’s ability to maintain composure and capitalize on their chances ultimately secured the win.
