Enrique Luque added a third at 8', and Nikoloz Sikharulidze further extended the lead with a brace, at 51' and 84', demonstrating his knack for finding the net in a game that was increasingly one-sided. Luis Pinto’s goal for Harroyal at 35' was a brief moment of hope, but it was swiftly overshadowed by the relentless home team. The tactical picture was clear: Crand Park pressed high, exploited gaps, and finished ruthlessly, while Harroyal struggled to generate any meaningful threat.

Despite the lopsided scoreline, the game was not devoid of discipline, with both sides receiving two yellow cards. Crand Park’s players, especially Kwanghoon Mun, who scored thrice, and Nikoloz Sikharulidze, who netted twice, earned ratings above 7.0 for their contributions. The hosts’ attacking trio was particularly effective, with Mun’s movement and finishing earning him an 8.4/10, while Luque and Sikharulidze showed their versatility and goal-scoring instincts. Conversely, Harroyal lacked standout performers, with no player reaching the 7.0 mark, reflecting their inability to impose themselves on the game or create chances beyond their solitary goal.
