Roystey Athletic’s dominance was evident from the outset, with Jiajun Chu opening the scoring in the sixth minute and Harold Henderson doubling the lead three minutes later. The visitors’ relentless pressure culminated in a third goal from Chu, assisted by Danilo Chiru, at the 23rd minute. Despite a yellow card for Zakari Oke just before halftime, Roystey continued to press, and Adilson Alves added a fourth after a fine assist from Oke. The visitors’ attacking prowess was underpinned by their superior shot count—20 shots to Cleet Town’s single—and their xG of 4.28, which vastly outstripped the hosts’ 0.26, confirming that Roystey’s goals were no fluke but rather the product of calculated finishing. The game’s tempo slowed slightly after the break, but Roystey’s final flourish arrived with Chiru’s second goal, assisted again by Oke, in the 67th minute. A late yellow card for Henk de Vries punctuated the evening’s discipline issues for Cleet Town, who could only watch as their opponents celebrated a comprehensive victory.

While Cleet Town’s effort was modest, their defensive record was not without merit, with 13 saves and a pass accuracy of 85%. Yet, the gulf in quality was clear, and the xG figures tell the story: Roystey Athletic’s attacking efficiency was far superior, with their 15 shots on target translating into goals. The visitors’ tactical discipline and clinical execution left little room for doubt about who deserved the points. For Cleet Town, the match was a lesson in the importance of finishing and perhaps a reminder that possession alone does not win games. Roystey’s victory was a masterclass in taking chances and maintaining focus, qualities that will serve them well in the league’s more competitive stages.

No Cleet Town player reached the 7.0 mark, reflecting their struggles to contain the visitors’ attacking wave.
