Hornea Park pressed high and moved the ball swiftly, creating multiple scoring opportunities, culminating in a hat-trick of goals from their key players. The first came from Đoko Halilović at 15', capitalizing on a well-weighted pass from Plamen Mitkov. The visitors’ fluidity was exemplified by Plamen Mitkov himself, who scored and assisted, earning a stellar rating of 7.8/10. Despite a late rally from Crom Spromfor, including a goal from Jongil Baek at 60', the hosts could not stem the tide. Defensive lapses and a lack of clinical finishing kept their hopes subdued, with a yellow card for Konate Koffi punctuating their struggles. The visitors’ disciplined pressing and sharp counterattacks ultimately sealed the outcome.

For Crom Spromfor, no players reached the 7.0+ threshold, but Konate Koffi earned a 6.5 for his effort despite the yellow card, and the hosts’ defensive organization was under constant pressure.
