The early goals set the shape of the contest. Philippe Robert struck in the seventh minute, then supplied Nilson Pires 15 minutes later, leaving Elseyth with a substantial repair job before the half-hour. The hosts did make the match more competitive after the break: Seungwoo Jeong converted the assist from Pedro Chagas in the 62nd minute. But Jorge Alvez answered 11 minutes later, and that third goal restored Disbury City’s two-goal advantage.

The discipline record added its own clutter to the afternoon, with seven yellow cards and none of the more serious colour. Disbury City collected five of them, but the bookings did not prevent the visitors from protecting their lead and adding to it. Elseyth had the volume of accurate attempts to make the scoreline less comfortable for their opponents; Disbury City had the finishing and the key moments. The final 3-1 was not a verdict on who created more by the xG estimate, but on who made more of the chances that arrived.
