Three times Newmarbridge got back into the scoring, and twice the match offered the possibility of a different ending. The quick exchange of goals from the 61st to the 64th minute made for a particularly unsettled stretch: Newmarbridge struck, Fleywortfor answered, and the hosts replied again. But Fleywortfor had produced more shots on target and more tackles, and its eventual fourth goal gave that larger share of the contest a practical consequence. The three yellow cards apiece suggest neither side found the evening especially quiet, though the match ended without a red card.

For Newmarbridge, three goals and eight shots on target are evidence of a side that made its chances count, even as the final result remained a defeat. Fleywortfor had the broader attacking output, and Regino Mendes and Manuel Dias supplied the goals and assists that turned it into a win. The 4-3 score was close in margin, not in the underlying tally of chances: Newmarbridge kept the contest alive, while Fleywortfor had enough opportunities to see it through.
