The game’s narrative was shaped early on by a yellow card to Eduardo Andrade for Newquay Rangers, but the visitors quickly responded with a goal from Lindomar Da Silva at the 14th minute, assisted by Oscar Pearson. Wick Wor’s Roberto Ortega responded with a well-taken strike in the 9th minute, assisted by Wayne Hart, but the momentum shifted again as Lindomar Da Silva scored his second shortly after, assisted by Oscar Pearson. The first half closed with Wick Wor’s Ricardo Castro receiving a yellow card, and the visitors extending their lead through Oscar Pearson just before halftime, thanks to a clever assist from Gabriel Quiroz. The second half saw Gabriel Quiroz add two more goals, at the 63rd and 84th minutes, sealing the visitors’ emphatic win. Meanwhile, Lindomar Da Silva’s yellow card at 75 minutes was a minor blot amid a dominant performance.
Statistically, the match was a tale of contrasting efficiency and volume. Both sides held possession equally at 50%, but Newquay Rangers fired 17 shots to Wick Wor’s six, with 14 on target compared to Wick Wor’s five. The xG figures—3.84 for the visitors versus 1.38 for the hosts—highlight the expected dominance, which was reflected in the final scoreline. The visitors’ higher shot count and xG suggest they created numerous high-quality chances, which they converted with clinical precision. Wick Wor’s goalkeeper was kept busy, making 16 saves, yet the defensive lapses and the visitors’ finishing proved decisive.
