Cherinte displayed resilience, with Abdoulaye Diack pulling a goal back just before halftime, but the visitors’ relentless pressure and disciplined defending kept the hosts at bay.

Markenle’s tactical approach focused on quick transitions and exploiting spaces behind the hosts’ defense, which was evident in their high number of dribbles (10) and passes with 84% accuracy. Cherinte’s goalkeeper made 12 saves, indicating that the hosts were under consistent pressure, but their finishing was not as precise as Markenle’s. The tactical discipline and sharp finishing from Markenle ultimately proved decisive, with their attackers making the most of their opportunities and their defense holding firm against Cherinte’s attempts to mount a comeback.
