Crogge Town
- Jailson Mendes (7.5) - Scored once and supplied two assists, a direct hand in three of Crogge’s five goals.
- Jose Rodriguez (7.3) - Scored and assisted, contributing at both ends of Crogge’s first-half scoring.
- Eduard Erceg (7.3) - Scored before setting up Jailson Mendes for the fifth.
The raw possession and passing figures were close, but the shot count was not: Crogge produced five times as many attempts, with the corners level at four apiece. Norton County managed a goal and kept the score from becoming still more lopsided, yet could not turn its share of the ball into comparable pressure. Crogge Town left with a 5-1 win built on relentless first-half scoring and enough attacking reach to add another late on.
