Tactical story

Their first goal came from a patient build-up, while the second and third arrived from quicker, more direct attacks.

Torres U19 set up in a 4-4-2 and tried to hit on the break. Their equaliser was the reward for a committed first-half spell, but they found it harder to keep the ball after half-time.
