The key to the Wanderers' success was their relentless attacking intent, exemplified by Abdo Ibrahim, whose brace in the first half set the tone. Ibrahim’s goals in the 23rd and 39th minutes, both with minimal xG (0.02 and 0.03 respectively), demonstrated a knack for converting chances that most players would miss. The Wanderers' attack was backed up by disciplined defending and a disciplined midfield, although they did pick up two yellow cards—one for Levani Qatamadze in the 44th and another for Aitor Hernandez in the 67th—highlighting a certain edge in their approach. The hosts, meanwhile, struggled to create anything meaningful, managing just a single shot on target despite their possession advantage.

The second half saw the Wanderers extend their lead through Robert Miller in the 64th minute, a goal that was well-earned given their dominance in xG (3.73 versus 0.01). The game was effectively sealed in the 88th minute when John Graham added a fourth, assisted by Ibrahim, who was the standout performer of the match. The Wanderers' ability to convert their chances contrasted sharply with the hosts’ inability to threaten the goal, revealing a tactical disparity that was evident in the stats and the scoreline alike. Overall, this match was a reminder that in football, precision and opportunism often outweigh possession and control.
