The game’s narrative was written early, with Caetano Monteiro opening the scoring in the 15th minute and earning a yellow card shortly after. The visitors’ attacking trio, led by Monteiro and Lateef, kept the pressure on, with Lateef doubling the lead in the 22nd minute after a sharp assist from Shaun Robson. By the 33rd, Simeonov had added a third, assisted by Monteiro, who was involved in almost every goal. The second half saw Monteiro continue his prolific form, scoring again in the 57th minute with a well-placed finish assisted by Albino Da Veiga. Janković then made it 5-0 in the 65th, before Lateef scored his second in the 79th. The scoring was completed in the 89th minute by Da Veiga, assisted by Monteiro, sealing a comprehensive victory. Meanwhile, Soughle Town struggled to muster any meaningful threat, with their only shot coming from a corner, and their goalkeeper making 14 saves in vain.

Tactically, St End Edge's xG of 4.15 vastly outperformed their actual goals, suggesting they could have scored even more with better finishing or luck. Their high shot count and on-target accuracy demonstrated a team that was not only creating chances but also converting them with precision. Conversely, Soughle Town's negligible xG of 0.01 highlights their inability to threaten the goal, with no shots on target and minimal attacking intent. The match was a textbook example of how possession and shot volume do not always translate into results, but in this case, the visitors' efficiency was undeniable, and their tactical discipline was evident in their ability to capitalize on every opportunity.
