Stevens opened the match with confidence and composure, controlling possession and dictating the tempo through the first 10 minutes. But despite their strong start, it was Fordham who struck first, capitalizing on a swift counterattack to take an early 1–0 lead. Stevens looked eager to attack, pushing forward to regain momentum, yet struggled to turn their build-up play into a finishing touch.
As the first half wound down, Fordham delivered another blow, finding the net with just five minutes remaining to extend their lead to 2–0 heading into the break.
The second half followed a similar script early on, with Stevens once again seeing plenty of the ball. However, Fordham proved clinical when it mattered most, adding a third goal about 10 minutes in and firmly seizing control of the match. That goal appeared to shift the energy on the field, as Stevens' confidence began to fade.
A goalkeeper change by Stevens with 15 minutes left did little to slow Fordham's momentum. Relentless in attack, Fordham piled on three more late goals, turning a competitive match into a lopsided affair. By the final whistle, Fordham had secured a dominant 6–0 victory, showcasing their efficiency, depth, and ability to capitalize on key moments.
