Despite the slight edge in possession—52% for Reganham—the game was tightly contested, with Honemes City creating a few promising moments, notably through their dribbles and passing accuracy. The first goal arrived just before halftime, when Seungwoo Jeong found the net for Reganham in the 36th minute, capitalizing on a rare lapse in the visitors’ defensive organization. The hosts maintained their composure after the break, and in the 61st minute, Michel Lemoine doubled the lead with a well-placed finish, assisted by Philippe Robert. The visitors responded with a late goal in the 87th minute, as Lindomar Da Silva scored from Xinping Boon’s assist, but it was too little, too late to salvage a draw. The game saw a flurry of fouls and yellow cards, reflecting the tense atmosphere, but neither side could find the equalizer, leaving the home side to celebrate a hard-fought victory.

Tactically, Reganham demonstrated a disciplined approach, with a high pass accuracy of 84% and a solid 15 dribbles, creating enough danger to justify their slightly higher xG of 1.54 against Honemes City’s 0.88. The visitors, while slightly more conservative in possession, managed to keep the game within reach through their resolute defending and timely counterattacks. The goal from Lindomar Da Silva was a testament to their resilience, but overall, the match was a display of how small margins and disciplined defending often decide the outcome at this level.

Nobody in the match reached the 7.0+ rating threshold beyond these, but the overall effort was commendable.
