Brighton and Hove Albion WFC demonstrated superior attacking efficiency in their commanding 4-1 victory over Durham FC in the FA Cup encounter. The home team's early goals, scored within the first 21 minutes, set a decisive tone. Scoring the first two goals within minutes of each other highlighted Brighton’s swiftness and precision, capitalizing on Durham's defensive lapses and lack of early match readiness. The third goal before the 20-minute mark further exemplified Brighton's offensive dominance, making effective use of their chances.

While Brighton's offensive capabilities were apparent through their shot accuracy leading to four goals, Durham’s lack of corner kicks and consistent offside discipline (compared to Brighton’s six offsides) significantly restricted their counter-attacking options. Brighton’s seven corners demonstrated their control over field position and ability to press forward in attack, dominating the territorial play. In contrast, Durham's lack of corners and offensive penetration underscored their ineffectiveness in breaching Brighton’s midfield and defense.

Durham showed visible signs of frustration in the second half, which manifested in two quick yellow cards following their first and only goal. These disciplinary issues not only reflected their struggle to cope under pressure but also disrupted their focus and rhythm. Despite closing the gap to 3-1 temporarily, the lack of discipline and failure to leverage set pieces or effective shots on target hampered Durham's momentum. Meanwhile, Brighton sealed the match with a late fourth goal, exhibiting resilience and a cohesive team structure in both offensive and defensive setups without conceding any cards.
