The game’s narrative was largely written in the first half, with Lees Park establishing a commanding lead early on. Paulo Santos opened the scoring in the 13th minute, capitalizing on a moment of defensive lapse. Just four minutes later, a well-orchestrated move saw Rob de Vries assist Santos again, doubling the home side’s advantage. The visitors’ frustrations grew when Seungwoo Jeong received a yellow card in the 20th minute, a sign of their mounting difficulties. Lees Park continued their relentless assault, adding a third goal just before halftime through an assist from Santos, who was in scintillating form. The second half saw the hosts extend their lead further, with Veljko Alić scoring in the 60th minute after an assist from Alić himself, and Santos completing his brace in the 77th minute. The scoring was rounded off by Alić’s goal in the 87th minute, sealing a comprehensive victory.

Tactically, Lees Park dominated possession and created high-quality chances, reflected in their 4.0 xG compared to Sand Grack’s 0.01. Their ability to convert these chances into goals was evident, with Santos and Alić both performing above expectations. The visitors’ defensive organization was lacking, and their offensive efforts were non-existent, as shown by their zero shots and only four corners, mostly from set pieces rather than sustained pressure. The home side’s disciplined pressing and effective use of space allowed them to capitalize on every opportunity, turning their dominance into a convincing scoreline. Sand Grack’s defensive frailty and inability to threaten the goal were the story of the match, highlighting the importance of finishing and tactical discipline in lower league football.

Sand Grack players did not reach the 7.0 rating threshold, reflecting their struggles throughout the game.
