The game was effectively decided within the first half-hour, with Seydou Kone opening the scoring in the 12th minute, assisted by Mansik Pae, who himself added a goal and an assist before the interval. Wayne Jones doubled the lead shortly after, with a goal assisted by Filip Brkić. The visitors’ plight worsened as they received two yellow cards—one to Mansik Pae and another to Filip Brkić—which perhaps summed up their frustration and lack of cohesion. The second half saw Mansik Pae score again, followed by goals from Eric Michaud, Mario Marković, and Macario Zavala, with the latter's strike in the 54th minute sealing a comprehensive victory. The game’s flow was punctuated by a late yellow card to Budley Villa's Nuno Esteves, but by then, the result was beyond doubt.

Tactically, Staignmouth dominated possession and created numerous chances, reflected in their 24 shots and an expected goals tally of 4.84—an indication that their finishing was efficient but not overly fortunate. Budley Villa, on the other hand, managed a solitary shot, which was on target but ultimately inconsequential. Their defensive structure was breached repeatedly, and their inability to threaten at the other end underscored the gulf in class. The hosts’ ability to convert their chances was the key difference, and their high pass accuracy and tactical discipline made the scoreline a fitting reflection of their superiority.

No players from Budley Villa managed to reach a rating of 7.0 or higher, highlighting their struggles across the pitch.

In the end, Staignmouth’s clinical finishing and tactical discipline turned what could have been a routine victory into a statement of intent, while Budley Villa will need to find answers quickly if they are to avoid further embarrassment in future fixtures.
