Their 16 shots on target out of 21 attempts showcase their relentless attacking approach, though their conversion rate was not perfect.

The tactical discipline of the visitors kept the hosts at bay, while their own attacking efficiency ultimately decided the game.

Julio Rubio (6.7) added energy and threat in the final third, scoring the second goal. Adrian Aguayo (6.6) provided the assist for Rubio’s goal, demonstrating good vision and passing. Phillip Lewis (6.5) was disciplined defensively before his yellow card, making key interceptions. Michael Brown (6.4) showed resilience despite the caution, contributing to the midfield battle.
