In a highly tactical match, Harbour View narrowly defeated Mount Pleasant FA 2-1, demonstrating a more opportunistic approach. Harbour View capitalized on their limited chances, scoring both goals in the first half, whereas Mount Pleasant FA managed to pull one back in the second half. The early goal scored by Harbour View at just under eight minutes set the tone, giving them confidence and a strategic advantage, which they maintained through effective pressing and organization.

Mount Pleasant FA showed greater dominance in terms of corner kicks, registering six compared to Harbour View's three, indicating more frequent forward pushes. However, their inability to convert those set-pieces into goals underscores inefficiency in crucial moments. Furthermore, Mount Pleasant FA misjudged their offside traps twice, revealing a need for better coordination in attack timings.

Harbour View's discipline was tested by accruing four yellow cards, one of which followed Mount Pleasant's only red card incident in the match, influencing the game's dynamic. The home team's defensive rigidity, albeit aggressive at times, restricted Mount Pleasant from utilizing their numerical advantage. Mount Pleasant's single yellow card, juxtaposed with the costlier red card, highlights an over-reliance on physical play that ultimately left them at a numerical disadvantage.

Substitutions played a minor role as neither team’s bench markedly shifted the momentum. The red card was a turning point, as Mount Pleasant's reduced squad struggled to break through Harbour View's compact formation. This disciplinary lapse by the away team significantly impacted their ability to level the score, amplifying the significance of the early goals Harbour View scored.
