The key moments unfolded early and often, with Jorge Alvez receiving a yellow card in the third minute, perhaps a sign of Woolmouth's nervous start. The visitors took advantage of Woolmouth’s hesitations, with Philippe Robert opening the scoring in the 21st minute, assisted by Seungwoo Jeong. Just four minutes later, Pedro Chagas doubled the lead, again with help from Jeong, who was orchestrating Albion’s attacking moves with a calm authority. The visitors’ relentless pressure culminated in a third goal by Zdravko Ivanišević in the 36th minute, following a well-placed pass from Chagas. The first half concluded with Philippe Robert adding his second goal in the 45th minute, assisted by Michel Lemoine, sealing a dominant first-half performance. Woolmouth’s defensive line was repeatedly breached, and their limited possession and shot attempts reflected their struggle to mount any meaningful resistance.
Tactically, Albion’s high pressing and precise passing created a significant gap in Woolmouth’s defensive organization. Their expected goals (xG) of 3.44 far exceeded Woolmouth’s 0.96, illustrating how the visitors' attacking intent translated into tangible results. Albion’s 16 shots, with 12 on target, outclassed Woolmouth’s five attempts, three of which were on target. The game’s flow was characterized by Albion’s ability to convert their chances, while Woolmouth’s efforts remained largely speculative. The visitors’ superior dribbling (17 to Woolmouth’s 10) and consistent pass accuracy (82% to 81%) underpinned their dominance. Woolmouth’s goalkeeper was kept busy, making 15 saves, but the scoreline was a testament to Albion’s efficiency rather than luck.
No Woolmouth players reached the 7.0+ mark, highlighting their struggles across the pitch.

The result was a comprehensive demonstration of Albion’s attacking quality and Woolmouth’s defensive vulnerabilities. While the hosts showed some resilience, their inability to convert their limited chances and withstand Albion’s relentless pressure ultimately defined the game. Albion’s clinical finishing and disciplined approach secured a well-earned victory, leaving Woolmouth with plenty to ponder as they look to tighten their defensive ship.
