The key to the rout was the relentless attacking pressure applied by Ley Duking Athletic, who registered 22 shots—20 on target—compared to BlackPool HQ’s mere two. The expected goals (xG) tell the story of a one-sided affair: 5.24 for Ley Duking Athletic versus just 0.51 for BlackPool HQ. Mile Sarić was the star, contributing two goals and two assists, while George Edwards added two goals and an assist. Despite the hosts' attempts to disrupt the flow with seven corners and a handful of fouls, they could not contain the visitors’ attacking ingenuity. Ley Duking Athletic’s high xG and goal tally reflect a tactically disciplined performance, capitalizing on their chances with clinical finishing and intelligent link-up play.

BlackPool HQ’s effort was hampered by a lack of attacking threat and a porous defense that was repeatedly exploited. Their goalkeeper made 16 saves, a testament to the relentless pressure from Ley Duking Athletic, but it was ultimately futile. The hosts’ only notable moment was a yellow card for Philippe Robert in the 80th minute, a small consolation amid the mounting deficit. The game’s outcome underscores the importance of conversion and defensive organization—lessons that BlackPool HQ will need to learn quickly if they are to avoid similar embarrassments in future fixtures.
