The game started with Redhamborle taking an early lead through Luca Colombo, who capitalized on a precise pass from Xinping Boon in the 4th minute. Despite Colington Town's efforts to respond, they struggled to create clear-cut chances, managing only two shots on target against Redhamborle's 13. The visitors' control was reflected in their 52% possession and a high shot count, with Boon and Rossi orchestrating much of the danger. The hosts' best moment came late in the game when Philippe Robert scored in the 85th minute, but it was too little, too late, as Redhamborle sealed the game with three more goals in the second half, including two from Boon.

Tactically, Redhamborle's high xG of 3.68 compared to their actual four goals indicates a degree of clinical finishing that outstripped their expected output, but not by much. Their attacking players, especially Boon, who scored twice and assisted once, demonstrated their ability to convert chances at crucial moments. Conversely, Colington Town's low xG of 0.56 underscores their struggle to threaten the visitors’ goal, despite maintaining a decent pass accuracy of 80%. The hosts' defensive efforts, including 12 saves from their goalkeeper, were admirable but ultimately insufficient against the relentless Redhamborle attack.
