From the outset, Sougbord set the tone with an early goal in the third minute, establishing an aggressive rhythm. Their relentless pressure was evident in the 24 shots they managed—20 on target—far outstripping the visitors’ solitary attempt. Despite Coutting Rangers’ disciplined defensive effort, their goalkeeper was kept busy, making 17 saves in a game that was largely one-way traffic. The visitors’ lone goal in the 53rd minute by Nilson Pires was a rare bright spot amid the chaos, but it did little to stem the tide. Sougbord’s attacking line, led by Bent Skaarup, who scored three times, was relentless, with the team’s xG of 5.44 aligning well with their goal tally, underscoring their efficiency in front of goal. Tactical discipline and sharp finishing made the difference, with Sougbord’s possession dominance translating into a comprehensive victory.
As the game wound down, Sougbord continued to press, adding three more goals in the second half, including a late strike by Skaarup that sealed his hat-trick. The visitors’ frustration was compounded by a yellow card for Michel Lemoine, who was cautioned in the 71st minute. Despite the scoreline, both sides maintained a fair level of physicality, with the fouls evenly split at five each. Sougbord’s clean sheet and high pass accuracy of 85% reflect their control and composure, while Coutting Rangers’ lone bright spot remains their resilience in conceding only one goal after their initial setback. The result reinforces Sougbord’s status as a team capable of both possession and clinical finishing, while Coutting Rangers will need to reassess their defensive organization and attacking potency moving forward.
