Hort-instot had the game’s defining spell before half-time, scoring three times between the 25th and 40th minutes, then added three more after the break. The final pair arrived at 84' and 88', with Terence Gordon assisting both strikes. Swafornbursh’s possession and corner advantage never translated into a shot volume that could trouble the scoreboard: one attempt, one on target, and no goals. The figures leave little doubt about the outcome, even if the route to it was unusual enough to give the corner taker a misleading sense of occasion.
