From the outset, Dunstlow Athletic pressed high and moved the ball with purpose. The opening goal came early, in the 9th minute, when Givi Chinchikadze finished a well-placed cross from Carlo Cavallo. The hosts continued to press, and by the 36th minute, Cavallo had doubled the lead with a neat finish after a clever pass from Francisco Ruiz. Just three minutes later, Sam Johnson added a third, again assisted by Cavallo, who was orchestrating much of the home side's attacking play. Despite a flurry of activity, Cley Villa’s defensive line held firm for most of the first half, but the game was effectively over by the break, with Dunstlow Athletic holding a commanding 3-0 lead.

The second half saw the hosts extend their advantage further, with Givi Chinchikadze scoring a goal in the 50th minute, and Sam Johnson striking again in the 58th. The floodgates truly opened in the 65th minute when David Perez scored, assisted by Cavallo, followed by Terence Jones’s goal in the 67th minute, courtesy of Francisco Ruiz. The visitors’ day was summed up when Souleymane Aman received a yellow card in the 68th minute, as frustration mounted. Despite the heavy scoreline, Cley Villa’s inability to threaten on goal was stark, with 20 saves needed by their goalkeeper and no shots on target.
