The visitors controlled possession and created the clearer chances, while the White Eagles struggled to find their rhythm. Kingsway’s clinical edge proved decisive in a contest that saw the away side dominate large spells.

First Half: Kingsway’s Early Breakthrough

The deadlock was broken inside the first 20 minutes when Kingsway’s forward pounced on a defensive confusion in the Dianella box. A well-worked move down the left flank ended with a low cross that was turned home from close range. The goal visibly unsettled the home side, who could not find a way back into the half.

A quick counter‑attack caught Dianella short at the back, and the Kingsway striker coolly slotted past the goalkeeper to make it 3–0.

Dianella could not find a consolation goal, and Kingsway saw out the remainder of the match comfortably. The home team’s frustrations boiled over late on, with a yellow card for a clumsy tackle, but the scoreline remained unchanged.
