The early goals set the shape of the contest: Peter Richardson struck in the sixth minute, and Jamal Taha doubled the lead four minutes later. James Brown added a third on the stroke of half-time, leaving Pooking with a long interval to consider a comeback that the chances had not yet suggested. Seungchul Cha’s goal in the 64th minute completed the scoring, and Cheston Palace’s attacking output had already done the serious work.
The final score, Pooking 0 - 4 Cheston Palace, reflects the decisive difference in chance creation. Pooking edged corners 5-3 and kept the possession gap narrow, but neither detail could compensate for two shots and zero on target. Cheston Palace produced the goals, the shots and the greater share of the danger; the match statistics, for once, have not tried to make the afternoon more mysterious than it was.
