The game was a one-sided affair from the outset, with Pockirkby End establishing dominance early on. Goals from Alvaro Ramos in the third minute, assisted by Luis Pinto, and Kenny Au in the thirteenth, also set up by Luis Pinto, laid the groundwork for a rout. The star of the show, Luis Pinto, scored three times himself—at 33', 36', and 60'—each goal a testament to his ability to find space and finish with clinical precision. Meanwhile, Kenny Au added a brace, further cementing the home side’s supremacy, while Slavko Milić capped the scoring with a well-placed effort in the 75th minute. Despite the overwhelming scoreline, Leombea Athletic showed resilience in possession and passing, but their efforts were largely rendered moot by a porous defense and an inability to threaten the home goal meaningfully.

Tactically, Pockirkby End outperformed expectations, with an xG of 4 against their actual tally of 7 goals, indicating a degree of finishing brilliance or perhaps a touch of luck. Conversely, Leombea Athletic’s xG of just 0.51 highlights their utter lack of attacking potency, managing only two shots on target throughout the game. The hosts' high shot volume and accuracy, combined with their ability to capitalize on chances, ultimately sealed the result. The visitors' 13 saves tell a story of a team under siege, and their solitary yellow card to Nilson Pires in the 79th minute hints at frustration boiling over in a game long lost.

No players from Leombea Athletic reached the 7.0+ rating threshold, reflecting their struggles across the pitch.
