The game unfolded with a flurry of cards and a fluctuating momentum. Yeobury Rangers opened the scoring in the 17th minute through Mohamed Sherif, who capitalized on a well-placed shot, aided by a yellow card to Jose Guerrero just before. Callin United responded swiftly, with a goal in the 35th minute from an uncredited scorer, assisted by Malcolm Donaldson, after a period of intense pressure that saw ten corners and a flurry of fouls. The second half saw Yeobury Rangers regain the lead via Arturo Martinez in the 54th minute, assisted by Slobodan Milinković, who had been instrumental in creating chances. The hosts pressed for an equalizer but couldn't breach the visitors' resilient defence, despite their high number of shots and corners. The game was punctuated by yellow cards for both sides, but no red cards, maintaining a tense but disciplined atmosphere.

Tactically, Yeobury Rangers demonstrated efficiency in front of goal, converting their expected goals of 3.02 into two goals, slightly underperforming but still more clinical than Callin United, who had an xG of 1.72. The visitors' higher shot volume and dribbles suggest a more direct approach, while Callin United's possession and passing accuracy reflect a controlled build-up that ultimately fell short in the final third. The match was a classic case of the numbers aligning with the result, as Yeobury Rangers' opportunism proved decisive.
