How the match was won

The opening goal arrived in the first half, triggered by a well-worked move down the left channel. Mannucci’s full-back overlapped and delivered a low cross into the box, where a forward got ahead of his marker to turn the ball into the net. The goal settled any nerves and forced Club Ada Jaen to open up slightly as they searched for an equalizer.
