From the outset, the game was marked by disciplinary issues for the visitors, with Nilson Pires and Pedro Chagas receiving yellow cards early on, perhaps a sign of nerves or frustration. David Juarez opened the scoring in the sixth minute, capitalizing on an early chance, and from there, the floodgates opened. Mario Fernandez and Pedro Delgado added their names to the scoresheet before half-time, with Juarez providing assists for all three goals. The second half saw the hosts continue their relentless assault, with Juarez and Fernandez adding to their tallies, and newcomer Adrian Viera finishing the rout with a late goal. The game was a masterclass in finishing, with the home side converting almost every chance that came their way.

Tactically, Bares Wanderers demonstrated a balanced approach, controlling possession and creating high-quality chances, as reflected in their 5.79 xG. The Rangers, despite a decent pass accuracy of 81%, failed to translate their possession into meaningful shots, managing only one attempt that was comfortably saved. The visitors' high foul count and lack of corners suggest a team overwhelmed and unable to establish any rhythm or defensive solidity. The home side’s ability to generate 21 shots on target highlights their offensive prowess, while the Rangers’ 17 saves from their goalkeeper underscore the defensive chaos they endured. Overall, the game was a display of offensive dominance and defensive disarray, with the scoreline accurately reflecting the balance of play.

For the Rangers, no player reached the 7.0 mark, with performances marred by the defensive lapses and inability to create chances.
