The match was punctuated early on by disciplinary issues, with Asham City receiving yellow cards in the 2nd and 5th minutes, and Petforpon’s Jorge Alvez following suit in the 17th. Asham City opened the scoring in the 42nd minute, capitalizing on Petforpon’s defensive lapses.

Asham City regained their lead in the 58th minute, then extended it with a third goal in the 81st minute, sealing the game. The visitors’ discipline was tested with a further yellow card in the 84th minute, but their lead was never truly threatened, thanks in part to their superior shot conversion and tactical resilience.

Statistically, Asham City’s dominance in shots (12 to 4) and expected goals (2.43 to 0.74) underscored their offensive efficiency. Petforpon’s possession was marginally higher at 52%, yet their limited shot count and lower xG reflected a struggle to create clear-cut chances. Asham City’s disciplined approach, despite a high number of fouls (10 to 9), allowed them to capitalize on key moments, while their goalkeeper made 7 saves to keep the scoreline manageable. Petforpon’s defensive effort was notable, with 10 saves, but ultimately insufficient to stem the tide of Asham City’s attack.
