Salnetton responded well, with Hong earning a yellow card in the 32nd minute, but the visitors’ goal was short-lived as Insa Ngom equalized for Wenth United just before halftime. The second half saw Jorge Gutierrez put the hosts ahead in the 75th minute, followed by a late flourish from Saliou Sow, who scored in the 88th minute with an assist from Xinping Boon. The game was marked by disciplined defending from Salnetton, yet their inability to convert chances into goals was evident in the xG figures, which heavily favored Wenth United.

Tactically, Wenth United capitalized on their superior shot volume and possession, creating multiple high-quality chances that outstripped their expected goals tally of 3.48. Meanwhile, Salnetton’s xG of just 1.03 reflected their limited attacking threat, despite having more corners and dribbles. The visitors’ defensive organization kept the scoreline respectable, but their inability to finish or sustain pressure ultimately cost them. The home side’s ability to convert their opportunities was the difference, and their resilience in the closing stages sealed the result.

No players from either side reached a rating of 7.0+, but several performed commendably under pressure.
