The match’s momentum shifted quickly after the break. Dardon United levelled through Bruno Rossi, only for Bartolić to restore Clet Villa’s lead three minutes later. Lindomar Da Silva answered in the 62nd minute, but the hosts still had to find a way past a side that had shown it could turn a limited share of possession into goals. The two yellow cards for Dardon United and one for Clet Villa marked a busy stretch without changing the balance of the contest.
In the end, Dardon United’s 3-2 win was earned through sustained pressure and a decisive final opening, rather than a comfortable procession. The hosts’ 14 tackles to Clet Villa’s six, alongside their substantial lead in shots and corners, underline how often they were able to keep the visitors defending. Yet Clet Villa stayed dangerous, and Bartolić’s brace ensured that the statistical advantage could not make the final minutes any less consequential. Pinto’s 90th-minute finish did what the rest of the numbers could not: made the result final.
