From the outset, Coless showed some resilience, with Khadim Diakhate earning an early yellow card at 2'. Their goal, scored by Oscar Ortiz at 27', briefly threatened to shift the momentum, but Molker Rangers responded swiftly and decisively. Philippe Robert’s goal at 40' marked the start of a relentless scoring spree, with Davide Meloni adding two more before halftime. The visitors’ attacking line-up, led by Meloni and Lemoine, exploited every gap in the home side’s defense, which appeared increasingly disorganized as the game progressed. The second half was a showcase of Molker Rangers’ offensive efficiency, with Meloni completing his hat-trick and Ivanišević sealing the rout with a late goal. Meanwhile, the game was marred by a series of yellow cards, reflecting the tension and frustration on both sides, especially in the visitors’ ranks.

Statistically, the game was a tale of two halves. Molker Rangers dominated in shots (32 to 10) and on-target efforts (27 to 8), with their expected goals (7.28) vastly outstripping their actual tally, indicating a degree of clinical finishing. Conversely, Coless managed only 10 shots, with an xG of 2.22, suggesting they were somewhat wasteful in front of goal, or perhaps just unlucky against the sharpness of the visitors’ goalkeeper. The possession was evenly split, but the visitors’ higher number of tackles (10 to 6) and their ability to convert chances made the difference. The game’s physicality was evident, with 12 fouls committed by Molker Rangers and 10 by Coless, alongside a flurry of yellow cards. The home side’s 29 saves highlight their goalkeeper’s busy night, though it was ultimately a night of defensive capitulation.

For Coless, no individual performance reached the 7.0 threshold, though Khadim Diakhate earned credit for his early yellow card and effort in midfield.
