From the outset, Mastaing Albion set the tone with an early goal from Ahmed Elsayed in the 12th minute, followed swiftly by a well-orchestrated strike from Joao Almeida assisted by Karlo Crnković. The home side’s fluid attacking movement was evident as Joao Almeida doubled his tally in the 19th minute, assisted by Daniel Dias, and Joongki Park added a third shortly after, with Daniel Dias again providing the assist. The visitors appeared overwhelmed, with Albion’s pressing and passing game creating numerous high-quality chances, as reflected in their 13 shots on target compared to Mallingath’s solitary effort. Despite a yellow card in the 30th minute, Albion continued their assault, with Karlo Crnković scoring from a clever assist by Joongki Park before the break. The first half ended with Albion comfortably leading 5-0, their xG of 3.52 suggesting they had been slightly fortunate not to be further ahead.
The second half saw Mallingath attempt a brief resurgence, with Luis Pinto scoring in the 60th minute after a fine assist from Vladimir štimac. However, Albion’s response was swift and ruthless, with Karlo Crnković and Joao Almeida adding two more goals in quick succession, sealing their dominance. The visitors’ resilience was further tested when Luca Colombo scored a late consolation in the 76th minute, but the game’s tone was set by Albion’s relentless attacking and disciplined pressing. The match concluded with a flurry of yellow cards—one for each side—and Albion’s comprehensive victory, underpinned by their superior shot quality and tactical discipline.
