The first goal arrived in the 32nd minute when Alex De Macedo found the net, assisted by Phillip Thomas, giving Filetton an early lead that they would not relinquish. Despite their dominance in possession—55% to Filetton’s 45%—King’s efforts were largely thwarted by disciplined defending and a lack of clinical finishing. The visitors’ best chance came from six corners, but their shot on target was singular and easily handled by the Filetton goalkeeper. The hosts’ second goal came shortly after the break, with Abdulaziz Sanni doubling the lead in the 63rd minute, again assisted by Alex De Macedo. The game was effectively sealed when Sada Muramatsu added a third in the 67th minute, and Sanni completed his brace with a well-taken finish in the 85th minute, assisted by Angel Mitev. Meanwhile, both sides received yellow cards, but no red cards marred the contest.

Tactically, Filetton’s efficiency was evident in their shot conversion, with an xG of 2.59 compared to their four goals, indicating a degree of clinical finishing that outperformed expectations. King’s xG of 0.26 reflects their limited attacking threat, despite their possession advantage and six corners. The hosts’ ability to capitalize on their chances, combined with King’s inability to convert their set-piece opportunities, underscores the importance of finishing in football. Filetton’s disciplined approach and sharp attacking instincts ultimately proved decisive, while King’s possession dominance was rendered moot by their failure to convert pressure into goals.

King’s best player did not reach the 7.0 mark, reflecting their struggles to impose themselves offensively or defensively.
