The match between Shatin SA and Central and Western District R&SA was a closely contested affair, with Shatin edging the victory 2-1. A closer examination reveals that Shatin's efficient use of opportunities was pivotal. Despite having only three corner kicks compared to Central and Western's eight, Shatin capitalized on their early momentum by scoring in the 27th minute. This early goal set the tone for much of the match, allowing them to control the pace and defensive organization, highlighted by their disciplined offside trap.

Defensively, Shatin SA showed robustness, effectively managing to limit Central and Western's chances, despite conceding a late goal. While Central and Western were more aggressive in their attacking plays, as reflected in their superior corner count and higher number of offsides, Shatin's compact defense ensured these threats were largely neutralized. Three yellow cards for Shatin also suggest aggressive defending, but they managed to hold their shape and avoid any dismissals that could have changed the match dynamics.

Central and Western's strategy relied heavily on breaking through Shatin's offside trap, which was unsuccessfully executed as indicated by their seven offsides. The away team did attempt to heighten pressure in the second half, evident by a goal scored in the 90th minute, but Shatin's two-goal lead by then had already given them a buffer. The lack of discipline in coordinating their attacks within the offsides line undermined Central and Western's efforts to effectively challenge Shatin’s defense until the very end.
