Cruz struck again in the 14th, assisted by Božo Mijatović, and the floodgates truly opened when Byunghoon Gim scored in the 33rd minute, assisted by Malcolm Burns. The visitors’ attacking unit, led by the prolific Gim, kept the pressure on, culminating in a second goal for him in the 75th minute, assisted by Mate Mujagić, and a late flourish with his third in stoppage time.

Tactically, Key Stre exploited the home side’s defensive lapses with precision. Their expected goals (xG) of 5.54 starkly contrasted with the actual score, highlighting their over-performance and clinical finishing. The hosts’ defensive line was repeatedly caught out, and their goalkeeper was kept busy, making 20 saves—an indication of the relentless pressure applied by the visitors. The visitors' pass accuracy of 84% and their ability to maintain possession (53%) allowed them to dictate the tempo, while Faven Rovers’ 47% possession and a mere 0.11 xG reflected their inability to threaten the goal meaningfully.

For Faven Rovers, no player reached the 7.0 rating, reflecting their struggles across the pitch.
