The match’s story was written early, with Martin Avila scoring twice in the first three minutes, assisted by Mustafa Maksimović, setting the tone for what was to come. The hosts’ attacking trio, led by Avila and supported by Mouhamadou Fall and Alberto Rodriguez, exploited every gap in the Hownham United defence. The visitors’ only notable moment was a yellow card for Thomas Bennett at 30’, but their defensive frailty was laid bare as they struggled to contain the relentless wave of Wes attacks. The home side’s dominance was reflected in their xG of 4.8, more than double Hownham’s 0.26, highlighting their over-performance and tactical superiority. Wes’s ability to create high-quality chances was evident, with 15 shots on target from 25 attempts, while Hownham’s solitary shot was comfortably saved.
The game’s final stages saw Wes continue their assault, with Mouhamadou Fall netting a hat-trick, including a goal assisted by Alberto Rodriguez. The hosts also received a few yellow cards, notably to Vuković and an unnamed player, but their discipline held firm in a match that was largely about goal difference. Hownham United’s struggles were compounded by their inability to generate any meaningful threat, and their defensive lapses were exploited ruthlessly. The final whistle confirmed a result that was as predictable as it was emphatic, with Wes’s attacking prowess on full display.

While the visitors will need to reflect on their defensive shortcomings, Wes’s clinical approach and goal-scoring prowess will serve as a benchmark in this division.
