The hosts continued their assault, with Terry Johnstone doubling the lead in the 26th minute, assisted by Francesco De Simone. Just before halftime, Keith Tremblay added a third, with Terry Johnstone providing the assist once again. The second half saw Fazio strike twice more, in the 52nd and 87th minutes, rounding off his hat-trick, and Francesco De Simone sealing the rout in the 77th. Meanwhile, Rotton United’s efforts were limited to a single yellow card and a total of 20 saves by their goalkeeper, with no shots on target or meaningful chances to threaten the scoreline.

Tactically, Nuney Park showcased their dominance through a balanced approach, maintaining possession at 50% but creating high-quality chances, as reflected by their xG of 5.19 against a negligible 0.01 for Rotton United. The hosts’ 19 shots on target outstripped their opponents’ entire effort, and their ability to convert a significant portion of these opportunities was evident in the score. The visitors’ defensive struggles, combined with their inability to generate any attacking threat, left them chasing shadows for the duration. The game’s overperformance in goals relative to xG underscores the clinical finishing of Nuney Park’s front line, especially Fazio’s hat-trick, which was well-earned but also indicative of the home side’s relentless pursuit of goal.
