Mansfield Town delivered an efficient performance to secure a 3-0 victory against Newcastle United U21 in the EFL Trophy match. With an impressive start, Mansfield scored two early goals in the first half, with goals at 13:56 and 28:24 minutes. Their early dominance and ability to convert chances were pivotal, allowing them to establish control over the game. Mansfield's third goal in the 68th minute effectively sealed the victory, exhibiting their sustained pressure throughout the match.

Newcastle United U21 struggled to match the clinical finishing of their opponents, despite earning six corners compared to Mansfield’s zero. The visitors failed to capitalize on set-pieces, reflecting a lack of cutting edge in the final third. Additionally, Newcastle's discipline was a concern, as they accumulated two yellow cards shortly after the second half commenced, at 47:06 and 67:40 minutes. These cautions disrupted their rhythm further and highlighted defensive frailties when under pressure.

Despite Mansfield's control, they remained disciplined both offensively and defensively, with only one yellow card at 83:12 minutes and maintaining a solid defense against Newcastle's attempts. Their teamwork displayed cohesion, allowing them to avoid offsides, with only two recorded, while their structural discipline prevented any corner given away, a rare feat in contemporary football. This tactical acumen underscored their collective effort, contrasting with Newcastle's increased, albeit ineffective, offensive incursions.
