Pon Annol’s attack was relentless from the outset, with Tarek Hamza opening the scoring at the 12th minute. Traore Adingra doubled the lead three minutes later, assisted by Hamza, who was orchestrating from midfield with a quiet authority. The home side’s only notable moment came in the 20th minute when Xinping Boon received a yellow card, a rare moment of discipline in a game otherwise dominated by the visitors’ ruthlessness. Traore Adingra continued his impressive form with a third goal just before halftime, assisted by Robert Evans, and the floodgates truly opened after the break. David Bailey scored twice, once in the 53rd minute and again in the 84th, both times assisted by Traore Adingra, who finished with an outstanding rating of 8.6. Tarek Hamza added a sixth in the 79th minute, sealing a comprehensive victory that was as much about tactical precision as it was about finishing.
The match's xG figures underline the disparity: Westaftus’s 0.36 versus Pon Annol’s 5.49. The hosts’ minimal chances reflected their inability to penetrate the visitors’ disciplined defense, while Pon Annol’s high xG was a testament to their relentless attacking approach. Their 21 shots on target outnumbered Westaftus’s total attempts by a wide margin, and their conversion rate was exceptional. The tactical narrative was clear—Pon Annol’s attack was both efficient and ruthless, capitalizing on nearly every chance they created. Westaftus’s defensive effort was overwhelmed, and their goalkeeper was kept busy with 18 saves, though little could be done to stem the tide of goals.

The result is a stark reminder of how clinical finishing and tactical discipline can turn a game into a showcase of dominance.
