Chepton Vale’s ability to convert their chances—particularly through Luca Colombo, who scored three times—was the decisive factor, turning their superior possession and shot count into a comprehensive victory. The tactical narrative was clear: Chepton Vale’s attacking fluency overwhelmed Mexter Stanley’s defensive setup, which was further hampered by disciplinary issues, including three yellow cards.
