Woket Rovers responded with a goal at 25', as Vladimir štimac finished off a well-constructed move assisted by Salvatore Galli. The visitors’ discipline was tested with two yellow cards in quick succession—Bruno Rossi at 39' and Salvatore Galli at 41'—yet they managed to extend their lead before halftime with a goal at 45'. The second half saw Sea Park push for an equalizer, but Woket Rovers’ defensive resilience, combined with their high shot accuracy, kept the hosts at bay. The game’s final moments saw a yellow card for Sea Park Phillip Lewis at 87' and another for an unnamed Woket Rovers player at 90', rounding out a match marked by tactical fouling and spirited effort.

Looking at the underlying numbers, the disparity in xG—0.41 for Sea Park versus 2.73 for Woket Rovers—highlighted the visitors’ efficiency in front of goal. Despite an even possession split, Woket Rovers’ 12 shots, 10 on target, far outstripped the hosts’ efforts, which amounted to just 2 shots with only 1 on target. The high shot volume and accuracy translated into a clear advantage in goal expectancy, and Woket Rovers’ clinical finishing ultimately decided the outcome. The hosts’ defensive record, with 15 saves, suggests they were under sustained pressure, but their inability to convert their limited chances was telling.
