However, the visitors responded swiftly, with Phillip Lewis scoring twice in quick succession—once assisted by Bent Rasmussen and again unassisted—before Thomas Weir added a fourth. Bent Rasmussen then got on the scoresheet himself, assisted by Weir, and Phillip Lewis completed his brace with a goal in the 54th minute. The game’s flow was punctuated by yellow cards to both sides, but it was the relentless attacking of St Harmor that ultimately dictated the scoreline. The visitors’ finishing was sharp, and their ability to convert chances was reflected in their xG of 3.54 against the home side’s 0.79, a statistical testament to their dominance.

While Higgley Dew United managed a modest possession share and a handful of shots, their inability to convert their limited chances into goals was glaring. Conversely, St Harmor’s 17 shots—12 on target—highlight their relentless pressure and tactical discipline. The visitors’ passing accuracy of 84% was matched by their high work rate, evidenced by six tackles and a significant number of dribbles (13). The game’s narrative was written in the visitors’ clinical finishing, which far exceeded their expected goals, and their disciplined defense, which kept the home side at bay despite some fouls and a yellow card.
