The game’s story was largely written in the first half, with Malters taking an early lead through a Marcos Salas assist at 12', followed by a second from Rolando Castro just before halftime, both showcasing their attacking intent. The second half saw Malters continue their dominance, with Cesar Tejera contributing with a goal and two assists, including a well-placed finish at 82' that earned him a match rating of 7.8. The visitors’ relentless pursuit of goal culminated in a late brace from Euclides Pires and Cesar Tejera, who scored with a deft finish from Stanko Makić’s assist. The hosts, despite their defensive efforts, could not contain the onslaught, with 17 saves needed to keep the score respectable.

While Draven Rovers managed to muster only two shots, their defensive line was repeatedly breached, and their passing accuracy of 81% was rendered moot by the inability to convert chances. The game was a masterclass in conversion efficiency for Malters, who outperformed their expected goals (xG) of 5.29 by netting seven goals, underlining their clinical finishing. The match was a reminder that in football, possession and shots mean little if they do not translate into goals, a lesson Draven Rovers will surely take to heart.
