The early exchange offered Didge City a route back into the match: after Edward Ross put Casing City ahead in the eighth minute, Luca Colombo levelled eight minutes later. But the equaliser did not bring a corresponding change in the balance of danger. Casing City restored its lead through Shoichi Nai before half-time, then added goals from Luis Giraldo and Joaquim Borges in the second half. Didge City’s greater share of possession and work in the dribble column made for a respectable statistical presence, but not enough of a scoring one.

At 1-1, the match still had room for a different ending. Casing City took that room away with a second goal before the interval and two more after it, while Didge City’s single shot on target left little opportunity to challenge the hosts’ growing lead. The final score, Casing City 4-1 Didge City, was emphatic and broadly supported by the shot count: the visitors competed for the ball, but Casing City made much more of what happened next.
