From the outset, Coganden showed their intent, with Duarte Alexandre opening the scoring in the 5th minute. The visitors then turned the game into a scoring spree, with Karam Emad and Cristian Garcia orchestrating much of the damage. Emad scored a hat-trick, assisted twice by Garcia, who also contributed two goals himself. Duarte Alexandre added his second in the 28th minute, and Henrique Andrade's goal in the 36th minute, assisted by Mark Tanabe, further cemented their dominance. Cristian Garcia then scored in the 42nd minute, followed by Allen Hunt's goal in the 43rd, both assisted by Garcia. Despite a yellow card for Tanabe just before halftime, the visitors continued their assault after the break, with Emad adding his fourth in the 52nd minute and Garcia completing his brace in the 77th. The home side's only reply came in the 63rd minute when Lindomar Da Silva scored, assisted by Jordan Reyes, but it was a mere footnote in a game that was already lost.
Tactically, Coganden outshot St Wesombe 26 to 1, with an expected goals (xG) of 5.79 compared to the home side’s 0.36, illustrating the clinical finishing of the visitors versus the home team's inability to convert their limited chances. The visitors' high shot count, coupled with their precision on target, underlined their dominance. Despite similar pass accuracy (both at 85%), Coganden's superior conversion rate and relentless pressure proved decisive. The home team’s 16 saves tell a story of a goalkeeper kept busy, but ultimately powerless against the onslaught.
