The match was officiated by referee Alfonso and saw Zimmerman United secure a narrow victory in a game that demanded tactical discipline and resilience.

Zimmerman United lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, a setup designed to balance defensive solidity with attacking creativity. The back four consisted of two full-backs tasked with both defensive duties and supporting wide attacks, while the two central defenders focused on maintaining a strong defensive line.

The trio of attacking midfielders were positioned centrally and on the flanks, charged with linking midfield and attack, creating chances, and supporting the lone striker leading the line. This formation required fluidity and understanding among the midfielders and forwards to break down the opposition’s defence and maintain control of the game.

No substitutes were named for Zimmerman United or Lucky Summer United, so the starting XI remained on the pitch throughout the match.

As the second half commenced, Zimmerman United intensified their efforts to break the deadlock. Their lone striker became increasingly involved, receiving service from the wide attacking midfielders who stretched Lucky Summer United’s defensive shape. The home side’s persistence paid off as they managed to find the net, taking the lead and forcing Lucky Summer United to respond.
