Chiton Stanley’s attack was relentless, with an xG of 3.49 compared to Maretow Albion’s 0.11. The visitors created a multitude of high-quality opportunities, converting three of them into goals, while the home side’s single shot was a token effort with no on-target attempts. The tactical story was straightforward: Chiton Stanley pressed high and moved the ball with precision, exploiting the home team’s defensive gaps. Maretow Albion’s effort was hampered by a lack of attacking intent and a defensive line that was repeatedly breached. The yellow cards handed out — one to each side — hinted at a game that was competitive in parts, but ultimately, the visitors’ superior quality told.

As the match wore on, the visitors’ confidence grew, and their ability to convert chances into goals was on full display. Long Teo opened the scoring with a well-taken finish in the 22nd minute, followed shortly by a second from the same player. Brian Palmer’s goal before halftime cemented the visitors’ dominance. The second half saw Derek Ishii and Jaeyong Min add to the tally, with the latter completing the scoring in stoppage time. For all their effort, Maretow Albion’s efforts remained largely impotent, with only a handful of tackles and a solitary corner to show for their efforts. The result was a fair reflection of the game’s flow, with Chiton Stanley’s clinical finishing making the difference.

No players from Maretow Albion reached the 7.0 mark, reflecting their struggles in both attack and defence.
