Leigham County responded with a well-taken goal from Ousmane Sylla in the 9th minute, assisted by Luis Pinto, which briefly threatened to shift momentum. However, the visitors quickly regained control, with Lemoine equalizing in the 26th minute and then adding a second in the 42nd, assisted by Michel Lemoine. The visitors’ relentless pressure was evident as they added three more goals in the second half, with Pedro Chagas and Lemoine’s hat-trick sealing the rout. The hosts’ discipline waned, resulting in three yellow cards, including one for Khadim Diakhate and Friedrich Unger.

Tactically, Casint Athletic’s high shot volume—16 attempts with 15 on target—outstripped Leigham’s 12 shots (10 on target), and their xG of 3.9 underscored their superior finishing. Despite Leigham’s possession advantage, their conversion rate was poor, and their defensive lapses were exploited ruthlessly. Casint’s ability to convert chances efficiently was the key difference, with their players showing sharpness in attack and resilience in defence, even when under pressure. The match demonstrated that possession alone does not win games; precision and opportunism do.
