From the outset, Crewsburn demonstrated their intent, with Alberto Alfonso opening the scoring in the fourth minute, assisted by Igor Machado. The visitors’ early yellow card to Branko Bartolić in the 26th minute did little to stem the tide, as Crewsburn doubled their lead shortly after through David Akhtar, assisted by Eladio Aranda. The home side’s attacking rhythm only intensified, with Scott Frost adding a third in the 57th minute and Igor Machado netting his first goal in the 68th, assisted by Frost. The scoring spree continued with Roberto Rios, Scott Frost again, Igor Alves, and finally Eladio Aranda, who capped the night with a goal in the 87th minute, assisted by Machado. Despite the one yellow card for Alfonso in the 55th minute, Crewsburn’s discipline remained intact, and their attacking efficiency was evident in the 20 shots on target from 23 attempts.
Tactically, Crewsburn’s dominance was reflected in their expected goals (xG) of 5.35, significantly outperforming the visitors’ negligible 0.01. Their high shot volume and accuracy, combined with a possession percentage of 54%, underpinned their control of the game. Mand Cron-Asham’s inability to threaten the goal—no shots on target and only four corners—highlighted their defensive and offensive struggles. Crewsburn’s fluid movement and precise passing (84% accuracy) created numerous scoring opportunities, while Mand Cron-Asham’s 17 saves and 11 dribbles suggest they were chasing shadows for much of the match.
No Mand Cron-Asham players reached the 7.0 rating threshold, reflecting their struggles to impose themselves or threaten the Crewsburn goal.
