Heater United’s offensive efficiency was complemented by disciplined defending, with both sides recording nine tackles, but Heater United’s goalkeeper made 16 saves to keep their lead intact.

In the end, Heater United’s attacking trio, especially Weijie Hong and Friedrich Unger, proved decisive. Their ability to convert chances and draw fouls kept the pressure on Kendhouth’s defensive line.
