From the outset, Brewelles set the tone with an early goal by Andrew Stephens in the 19th minute, capitalising on a moment of defensive lapse. The hosts continued to press, and Ciro Dominguez doubled the lead before halftime, both goals seemingly coming from well-orchestrated moves rather than sheer luck. The second half saw Brewelles extend their advantage with Andrew Stephens completing his brace in the 59th minute, assisted by Mustafa Softić, who added a layer of creativity to the attack. The game was effectively sealed by this point, with Soughton Rangers unable to mount any real offensive threat, as evidenced by their zero shots and a mere 0.01 xG. The visitors’ only notable disciplinary moment was a yellow card for Allan Carroll late in the game, a reflection of their frustration and lack of attacking options.
