Asham’s goal-scoring began early, with John Miller opening the scoring in the second minute, assisted by Radomir Avdić. The hosts continued to press, with Lawrence Jibrin doubling the lead in the 12th minute, courtesy of a fine pass from John Miller. Abel Gallardo added two goals before halftime, the first from open play in the 35th minute and the second just before the whistle, assisted by Phillip Lewis. The second half saw Asham maintain their relentless pressure, with Lawrence Jibrin striking again in the 56th minute and Phillip Lewis sealing the rout with a goal in the 86th minute, assisted by John Miller. Despite the dominance, the game was not without discipline issues, with Saliou Sow receiving a yellow card for Leighton just after the first half, and further cautions handed out to Lindomar Da Silva and Phillip Lewis later on. Asham’s tactical discipline was reflected in their possession and passing accuracy, and their ability to convert chances was remarkable given the minimal xG from the visitors.

Leighton’s effort was almost non-existent in attack, with no shots on target and a negligible xG of 0.01, highlighting their inability to threaten the hosts’ goal. Asham’s control of the game was evident in their 54% possession and 83% pass accuracy, complemented by 18 shots on target from 24 attempts. The visitors’ defensive resilience was lacking, and their goalkeeper was kept busy with 18 saves, although they were largely redundant as Asham’s finishing was precise and relentless. The match was a showcase of how tactical discipline and clinical execution can turn a game into a one-sided affair, and Asham’s players deserved their high ratings for their dominant display.

No Leighton player reached the 7.0 rating threshold, reflecting their struggles throughout the match.
