Young’s effort in the second half sealed the win, assisted again by Tchumburidze, whose influence was notable. Alrewdle’s response through Jeong and Carroll kept the game tense, but their inability to finish more of their opportunities meant they left the ground disappointed. Leighbring’s resilience and clinical edge proved decisive in a match that balanced tactical discipline with moments of individual brilliance.
