Townham’s attacking trio proved decisive, with Pedro Chagas and Nilson Pires both netting twice. Chagas opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a well-placed finish after an assist from Philippe Robert, who also contributed two assists himself. Pires’s goals in the 45th and 82nd minutes bookended the game, with the latter sealing the victory after a neat pass from Robert. Meanwhile, Fringtridle responded through Seungwoo Jeong in the 62nd minute, but their efforts fell short of turning the tide, despite a respectable xG of 1.07. The hosts’ discipline was tested with a yellow card to Jorge Alvez in the 29th minute, but their defensive resilience was ultimately insufficient against Townham’s relentless attack.

Tactically, Townham’s higher pass accuracy (89%) and greater dribble success (10 to 3) underpinned their control of the game. Their ability to maintain possession and create high-quality chances was reflected in their shot count—8 shots with 6 on target—compared to Fringtridle’s 6 shots and 3 on target. The visitors’ strategic patience paid off, with their goal tally exceeding their expected goals, indicating a slight over-performance in finishing. Defensively, both sides matched each other in tackles (10 each) and saves (7 each), but Townham’s clinical edge in front of goal ultimately decided the outcome.

No Fringtridle players reached the 7.0+ rating threshold, but the home side’s effort was marked by resilience rather than brilliance.
