The first goal came early, setting the tone, and was followed by a well-constructed finish from Branko Ivanović after an assist from Adil Nedić. The visitors’ second, scored by Ivanović again, was a reminder of his clinical finishing, while the third was a product of sustained pressure, with Mark Thomas providing the assist. Despite two yellow cards—one for each side—the game remained disciplined overall, with Sancar maintaining their composure to see out the victory comfortably. The hosts’ best chance was thwarted by Sancar’s disciplined defense and sharp goalkeeping, which kept their clean sheet intact.
