Ipshamswe Athletic: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Cotton City:

• Hinata Iwata (8.6) - Scored twice and assisted twice, contributing directly to four goals.
• Hugo Lemos (8.1) - Scored a hat-trick and was booked in a productive, if not entirely quiet, afternoon.
• Luis Opazo (7.3) - Scored once and supplied an assist.

The score stayed 4-1 after Mbaye Ndiaye replied for Ipshamswe Athletic in the 63rd minute, but Cotton City soon resumed its scoring. Osvaldo Valdes made it five, then Hugo Lemos completed his hat-trick before Hinata Iwata added the seventh. The teams finished level on tackles and yellow cards, which offers a small statistical island of parity in a match otherwise governed by the visitors’ attack. Ipshamswe Athletic did manage a goal from its only shot, a neat return on opportunity; Cotton City simply created enough further opportunities to make that efficiency look like a footnote.
