The Clarets lined up in a 4-4-1-1 formation, designed to provide both defensive solidity and attacking flair.

The central defensive pairing of Robert Byrne and Daniel Abdulrahman provided a strong backbone.

The match began with an explosive start as Kai Logan opened the scoring just one minute in, unleashing a stunning long-range strike from outside the box, assisted by Cole Clarets' precise short pass. The Clarets quickly established their dominance, and Logan doubled the lead in the 20th minute, finishing expertly inside the box after a clever assist from Matthew Malone.

The Clarets maintained their pressure, but the half concluded with a comfortable 2-0 lead as the referee signalled for half-time at the 35-minute mark.
The second half began with Kirkfield pulling one back just after the restart in the 46th minute, igniting hopes of a comeback. However, Noah Webb quickly extinguished those hopes, scoring in the 51st minute with a well-placed shot inside the box, restoring the Clarets' two-goal cushion.
In the 60th minute, Connor McMahon re-entered the fray, replacing Ruadh Greene, who had been substituted due to injury. The Clarets continued to press forward, and in the 62nd minute, Robert Byrne found the net again, this time with an assist from Noah Webb, extending the lead to 4-1.
As the match neared its conclusion, Robert Byrne received a yellow card in the 68th minute, a minor blemish on an otherwise stellar performance. The scoring was capped off in the 70th minute when Connor McMahon netted the fifth goal, assisted by Riely Brady, sealing a comprehensive victory for the Clarets.
