Gillingham's dominating 4-1 victory over Fulham U21 in the EFL Trophy was a testament to their tactical effectiveness and superior finishing. The home side was notably efficient in front of goal, scoring four times from just six shots on target. Their early lead, secured within the first three minutes, set a commanding tone, unsettling the young Fulham side right from the start.

While Fulham U21 managed to create a fair amount of goal-scoring opportunities, especially through their seven corner kicks, their inability to convert these into goals highlighted a significant area of weakness. Despite having slightly more corner kicks than Gillingham, the visitors registered only one goal deep into the match, suggesting a lack of clinical finishing and effective set-piece strategy.

Discipline and composure were critical factors as well. Gillingham's disciplined approach was reflected in their mere two fouls and a solitary yellow card, demonstrating minimal disruption to their gameplay. In contrast, Fulham U21's ten fouls disrupted their momentum and allowed the hosts to control the tempo. This ability to maintain composure under pressure was pivotal for Gillingham in capitalizing on their scoring chances while minimizing risk from the opposition.
