The visitors continued to carve through the home side’s defense, with Evan Wilson doubling the lead in the 12th minute, thanks to a clever pass from Sylvain Masson. The third goal, scored by an uncredited player in the 22nd minute, came from a well-executed team move involving Masson, who then added his second in the 27th minute. The hosts struggled to respond, and a yellow card to Xinping Boon in the 34th minute highlighted their frustrations. The second half saw Faket Albion extend their advantage further, with Masson netting again in the 53rd minute and Jay Oliver assisting for the sixth goal in the 55th minute. The visitors’ dominance was underlined by their 18 shots on target, contrasting sharply with Royalton’s single shot on target, and their high pass accuracy of 82% kept the game under control.

Tactically, Faket Albion’s approach was clinical, with their high shot volume translating into a high xG of 4.84, more than twelve times Royalton’s 0.36. Their ability to convert chances efficiently was evident, and their disciplined pressing limited the home side’s opportunities. Royalton’s defensive efforts, marked by 15 saves from their goalkeeper, were ultimately futile against the relentless wave of attacks. The game’s outcome underscores the importance of finishing and tactical discipline, as Faket Albion demonstrated a clear superiority in both areas. The match also saw disciplined conduct, with only a single yellow card issued to each side, maintaining a fair but intense contest.
