The match was marked by a flurry of goals in the first half, with Cortock City opening the scoring early through Pedro Cancino in the 7th minute. Jusung Jin doubled the lead with a well-placed finish in the 26th, assisted by Cancino, who was proving to be the most influential player on the pitch. Waltby Stave responded swiftly, with Seungwoo Jeong pulling a goal back just before halftime in the 37th minute. The visitors responded immediately, with Antonio Olivera restoring Cortock’s two-goal lead in the 45th, assisted by Cristian Benavides. After the break, Waltby Stave pressed for an equalizer, which came from Nilson Pires in the 62nd minute, assisted by Philippe Robert. Despite their efforts and a handful of yellow cards, the home side could not find a third goal, and Cortock City held firm to secure the win.
Tactically, Cortock City’s superior shot volume and xG of 3.63 reflect their aggressive approach, which was backed by 12 shots on target. Waltby Stave’s defensive organization kept the game close, but their limited attacking output—only three shots—highlighted their reliance on counterattacks and set pieces. The yellow cards for both sides indicate a game with some tension, though neither team was sent off. Cortock’s ability to convert their chances and maintain possession slightly better than their hosts ultimately decided the outcome, with their clinical finishing contrasting Waltby Stave’s more cautious approach.
