Match Highlights

In an extremely tight and few-conceded game, tactical discipline ended up being the big difference on the field. Without excesses of fouls or warnings throughout the ninety minutes, the London defensive system neutralized the hosts' attacks with competence. The control of the pace allowed the visitors to sustain the favorable score built at the opponent's home

What the Numbers Say

With the triumph achieved away from their domains, the London team expands an impressive sequence in the year, boasting 4 wins, 1 draw, and no defeats in the last five matches played. On the other hand, the hosts, who came from a consistent series of 4 wins and only 1 defeat in their last five official matches, now need to recalculate the route after the stumble in front of their fans
