Suthgates dominated the shot count with 16 attempts, 11 on target, and an expected goals (xG) of 3.3, suggesting they were well above their statistical performance in converting opportunities. Conversely, Path Stre City managed just four shots, with only two on target, and an xG of 0.71. The hosts’ defensive frailty was evident, as they committed 11 fouls and failed to capitalize on their possession advantage, while Suthgates’ clinical edge was reflected in their goal tally. The game’s tactical narrative was one of opportunism from Suthgates, who took their chances with precision, while Path Stre City’s efforts often fell short of the quality needed to threaten the scoreboard.
The match’s key moments were marked by a flurry of goals and cards, with Souleymane Konate opening the scoring for Suthgates in the 15th minute, assisted by Coulibaly Seka. Erik Pedersen then doubled the lead in the 34th minute, with a fine assist from Seokju Bang. The visitors continued their relentless assault after halftime, with Tanaka and Nguyen adding to their tally, the latter scoring twice in quick succession. Erik Pedersen’s second in the 87th minute sealed the rout. Despite the one-sided scoreline, both sides received three yellow cards, reflecting a competitive edge that occasionally boiled over.
