The match between Stevens and Columbia kicked off later than scheduled, with play beginning
                at 11:15 a.m. following a short delay.
                Columbia started the game on the front foot, creating the first chance when their winger
                received the ball just outside the box and fired a shot wide to the left. Stevens quickly
                responded with an opportunity of their own. Anthony delivered a precise ball to Andrew, who
                attempted to chip the onrushing goalkeeper despite being pulled inside the box. The keeper
                managed to tip the effort away, and to Stevens' frustration, no penalty was awarded.
                Columbia continued to press and nearly broke the deadlock, but Stevens goalkeeper Justin
                reacted superbly, pushing a powerful shot over the bar. The visitors kept the pressure on with
                another effort before halftime, which again sailed wide of the target, leaving the score level at
                the break.
                The second half opened with drama as Columbia broke away and earned a free kick in a
                dangerous position. Initially, the referee produced a red card against Stevens, but after
                consulting with the assistant referees, the decision was overturned, allowing Stevens to remain
                at full strength.
                From that point on, Columbia launched a series of relentless attacks, testing the Stevens
                defense repeatedly. However, Stevens held firm, with Justin and his backline refusing to be
                breached. Despite Columbia's dominance in possession and chances, Stevens' resilience
                secured a hard-fought clean sheet, and the match ended in a 0–0 stalemate.
