The game’s key moments unfolded early, with John Morris opening the scoring in the 12th minute. Just two minutes later, Abubakar Jacob doubled the lead with a finish assisted by Javier Zuñiga, setting the tone for what became a one-sided affair. Jacob’s influence grew, adding a third goal in the 18th minute, assisted by Robert Kiknadze. The hosts’ attacking rhythm was complemented by disciplined defending and tactical fouling, as they managed to keep Rocket Haw’s attack at bay, despite the visitors’ attempts to press high. David Leclerc’s contributions in the 32nd and 44th minutes, both assisted by Jacob and Morris respectively, cemented the home team’s dominance. Jacob’s hat-trick in the 79th minute sealed the victory, with the game effectively over long before the final whistle. Meanwhile, Rocket Haw’s efforts were hampered by a lack of goal-scoring opportunities, with only a single shot on target and an expected goals figure of just 0.01, reflecting their offensive impotence.

Tactically, Royall Stanley’s high pressing and precise passing—evidenced by an 84% pass accuracy—allowed them to control the game’s tempo and create numerous scoring chances. Their expected goals of 4.09 aligned well with their actual tally, indicating a performance that was both efficient and well-executed. Rocket Haw’s possession was marginally higher at 52%, but their inability to convert that into shots or meaningful chances underscored their struggles. The visitors’ defensive organization was breached repeatedly, and their offensive ineffectiveness was glaring, with no shots on target and only 0.01 xG. Royall Stanley’s disciplined approach, combined with their clinical finishing, made the result a reflection of their dominance rather than luck.
